Hi,

I just stumbled over something that I am not sure if it should be  
changed or not. If you pass an absolute url to link_to() (and I am  
sure the same applies to other helpers) there is no automatic XSS  
protection applied. I guess its a tricky topic since double escaping  
is a potential issue. However many people will tend to use $_SERVER  
items to build up absolute URL's (even inside the template) and this  
could lead to security issues (especially since most people are used  
to thinking that symfony will make everything safe). Of course  
$_SERVER is not safe and I guess most people know this if they are  
directly outputting things out of any superglobal in a template. But  
I am not sure that they realize this when using a helper.

regards,
Lukas
