Bug ID: 47021
Summary: Inconsistent treatment of underscores/spaces in URL
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Sites
Assignee: [email protected]

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
When a very large number of extra underscores are added to a URL (either at the
end, or in a point where an underscore exists normally), 3 different error
messages might occur. There is a threshold around 4050 characters in length
where a 404 error is given, another around 4100 characters where a 403 error is
given, and around 8200 characters, a generic error screen is given (with Error:
ERR_INVALID_URL, errno [No Error]). I am not sure if this is because of
underscores or because of impossibly long titles in general, but maybe it
should be dealt with in a consistent way.
I tested this in Firefox 20.0 for Linux.
