Yes that URL is incorrect (twice). First, '|' is not a pchar, or one of the other characters allowed in a query. The second mistake is that %7C is not correctly accepted by the web site if used to encode the '|'. I suspect this was never caught in any kind of validator because the page is generated and the URL is processed in a cgi script. It is interesting that my browser (IE10 release preview) simply uses the URL as received. I suspect the page has been generated that way for a very long time. Here's the HTML with the link (might not render properly, let's see: <a href="/cgi-bin/cuu/Value?kjos|search_for=Josephson"> -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
