Legacy _IG_Prefs.getString/Array methods should return unescaped prefs
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: SHINDIG-937
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHINDIG-937
Project: Shindig
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Javascript
Affects Versions: trunk
Reporter: John Hjelmstad
Fix For: trunk
The gadgets.Prefs.prototype.getString/Array methods changed the semantics of
the equivalent methods in _IG_Prefs, by escaping data returned from them. This
was done for sensible security reasons, but unfortunately also breaks many
legacy gadgets.
in order to maintain functional backward compatibility, I submit the _IG_Prefs
versions should return unescaped data rather than causing random breakages.
To be clear, this change would apply *only* to the prefs retrieved via JS, not
to __UP substitution.
