Mac Forum / Programming / Mac Programming / May 2008Webkit -> open URL -> M-ID -> percent escapes
Hello NG, I use Webkit to render NNTP-Message content. I translate the message-id into a link: <bob-F1B8ED.06474220052008@[199.45.49.11]> gets <news:bob-F1B8ED.06474220052008@[199.45.49.11]> From the system ( performing the open url ) or webkit it is translated into <bob-F1B8ED.06474220052008@%5B199.45.49.11%5D>. Is that a bug or did I miss something?

Yes, you are right. It should be translated this way. I was sleeping. But I really would prefer to care about these things myself. My only problem is that it dose not escape the "%". M-IDs often contain "%". The "%" stays unchanged and if you try to translate it back it will produce something else. That was confusing me. I would translate it myself but since this kind of URL has no describing part you would see all the percent escape - thats ugly.

Not true - sorry. Florian Florian Zschocke <edv@zschocke-berlin.de> schrieb: Applying the percent escapes myself fixed the problem.

[NSString -stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:] dose it correct.

By the way I found that Mail.app tries to make a link out of a <news:m-id> URL if you hit the send button, but you have to add percent escapes yourself. If not the URL will get truncated at least at the "%". I did not test any other "unsafe characters" jet. Florian |
