Package: urlscan
Version: 0.5.5
Severity: normal
I don't know where this is going but... urlscan doesn't handle URLs
that contain UTF-8 characters. I just received an email which
contains the following URL which urlscan fails to parse correctly:
http://www.pantherhouse.com/newshelton/my-wife-thinks-i’m-a-swan/
When I paste it into Firefox directly, it successfully opens
http://www.pantherhouse.com/newshelton/my-wife-thinks-i%E2%80%99m-a-swan/
I'm not quite sure how to handle this since it essentially means that
virtually any character can appear in an URL. Maybe you have a good
idea.
