Hi Jason, Yes. Sure you could use quotes and specify file names. But the point of this example was that these obfuscated URLs aren't really nice from the users perspective. Short, nice and clean URLs are so much better on the user! I especially dislike cases when the href link points to the right place, but changes underneath you on the onclick event. That makes it impossible to copy the link to the clipboard without actually following it. :-F
I understand that from the server side one might want to have tokens and aids, but that doesn't mean that normal URLs should be sacrificed. In my opinion here's how the URL should look like: http://mitlm.googlecode.com/issues/attachment/mitlm.0.4.ubuntu9.10.patch?aid=-4077538411916343304&token=aba5c2d445c1db169223b6398f619d33 -- Dmitry On Aug 4, 3:06 pm, Jason Robbins <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Dmitry, > > The "&" in the URL is interpreted by the unix shell as a request to > run the command in the background.
