When we click on the compare history link "<" on "r4 < r3 ..." we must redirect for this url:

http://safernet.org.br/twiki/bin/rdiff/SaferNet/Divulgue?rev1=4;rev2=3

But the web browser change ";" to "%3b". So... we need "&" as the url parameter separator.

We change the .../twiki-dir/lib/TWiki.pm to do this. Hire is the patch:

928c928
<                 $ps .= ';' . $p.'='.urlEncode(shift( @params )||'');
---
>                 $ps .= '&' . $p.'='.urlEncode(shift( @params )||'');
932c932
<             $ps =~ s/^;/?/;
---
>             $ps =~ s/^&/?/;

There are many other places where TWiki generates multiple parameters, so this seems to be a bigger issue. The safest fix is to prevent ";" from getting escaped as "%3b".

-- PTh


No browser should escape ";" to "%3b", and I doubt that they do. The semicolon has been chosen instead of the ampersand because usually it is the ampersand which creates a lot of escaping hassle because of its special meaning in HTML.

The Escaping occurs during redirection to the HTTPS URL, see the following telnet transcript:

$ telnet safernet.org.br 80

So the question to Aurelio is: How do you do the redirecting? Is this Apache based or via a TWiki feature?

HJ

It would be nice if the reporters would provide feedback.

The report was against 4.0.4. Is this a problem in 4.1.0?

I think Harald is right that the issue may be related to the redirecting.

KJL

Discarding under the 30 day rule.
