(I wrote this Friday but just realized I failed to include the
listserv in my reply.)
Thanks so much for the quick replies, and sorry to bring up an old
debate. My bad for not searching the archives well enough.
In my case I was generating the URL for use in a plain-text e-mail,
so clicking on the URL from a mail client resulted in the browser
including "amp;" in the request. I'll probably just do the replaceAll
() fix as well.

on a religious debate I believe :) It comes down to how you are
using the result of that method. If you use it inside of an <a
href = ".."> then it's SUPPOSED to be escaped (to be XHTML
compliant). However, apparently it fails if you try to use it
with a WORedirect. I have no idea what happens if you try to use
that inside of Javascript as a location = '..', and obviously if
processing it in some other way internally, it will probably throw
your code for a loop. So basically, if you were expecting it the
old way, it's broken, but if you thought it was broken before,
it's fixed :)
Yeah, what he said :-)
I blogged about it here: <http://david.codeferous.com/?p=191>
I ended up doing this:
url = url.replaceAll("&", "&");
before handing the url off the the WORedirect. Ugly yes, but it works.
