Rejected URL

Post by esj »

Hello

Vienna seems to reject several kinds of legal URL (I omit "http:" since the web form reject to many URL):

- URL with port number, e.g. //localhost.localdomain:2001/rss.php

- URL with query-string having square brackets, e.g. //localhost.localdomain/rss.php?id[1]=3&id[2]=45

- URL written with XML entities (recommanded by the W3C for validation), e.g.: //localhost.localdomain/rss.php?id=1&title=today

- URL starting with "https" , e.g.: https://localhost.localdomain/rss.php

Could it be possible to handle theses cases in a next release ?

Thanks for you attention

Some of the cases you cite are handled by Vienna : I personnally have a https feed (Google Mail feed) and a feed with a port number in the feeds I use daily.

Can you provide some real world examples ?

I check again my examples. Surprisingly, most of them work finally, except for the ones with XML entities, i.e. "&" followed by "amp;" is not seen as "&" alone. Sorry for the wrong examples, the problem was probably somewhere else.
