> 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
>
> Attachments: SHINDIG-937-2.patch
>
>
> 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.
