Package: w3m
Version: 0.5.2-10
Severity: normal
Trying to "reply" to a comment on a Trac instance doesn't work because
w3m appends parameters to the end of the URL even though it contains a
fragment identifier. To give an example, this is the HTML code for the
first "Reply" button on [1]:
<form name="addreply" method="get" action="#comment">
<div class="inlinebuttons">
<input type="hidden" name="replyto" value="description" />
<input type="submit" name="reply" value="Reply" title="Reply, quoting this
description" />
</div>
</form>
When submitting this form, w3m constructs the URL
https://dev.laptop.org/ticket/11558#comment?replyto=description&reply=Reply
and doesn't send the parameters to the server.
Instead, it should have parsed the URL, appended the parameters and
reassembled the URI to the form
https://dev.laptop.org/ticket/11558?replyto=description&reply=Reply#comment .
This would have caused Trac on the server to pre-fill the Comment field
accordingly (with a quote of the ticket description) and w3m to move
the cursor to the Comment field after loading.
