You're right (except for the "problem understanding" part :p). I just noticed that I was careless enough not to run my URL-s through any filters, so if I have a page whose URL part contains a slash, everything breaks.

If, however, I apply a complete filter, then it messes up all slashes, which is also not good (i.e. I use urls like /articles/chapter-title/section-title -- each of this 3 parts defines one page in the DB).

Indeed the Right Solution is to run a filter for each URL part.. but this will go so deep in my Perl code that I'll rather use URI::Encode.

So... I still think the uri filter should keep its old behavior.

-M.

You clearly don't understand the problem then, or what uri-escaping is about.
This isn't about "voting".  This is about *doing the right thing*.

You *cannot* uri-escape a string that already has a path to it.
You can only uri-escape the path steps.
