backslash character not allowed in report parameter values

[Emmanuel Blot]

When a report is selected, the bottom page links to alternative formats such as RSS, CSV and TSV are invalid. They contains, as a HTTP GET parameter, the user login. This makes Trac [1729] to reject the URL (Trac produces an empty response for such a URL).

Example:

• Report URL: http://host/trac/project/report/9
• RSS Report URL: http://host/trac/project/report/9?format=rss&USER=DOMAIN%5Cblote
• CSV Report URL: http://host/trac/project/report/9?format=csv&USER=DOMAIN%5Cblote
• TSV Report URL: http://host/trac/project/report/9?format=tab&USER=DOMAIN%5Cblote
• SQL Report URL: http://host/trac/project/report/9?format=sql

It is worth noting that SQL Report URL is valid.

Trouble occurs with a WinXP SP1 server, using Apache 2.0.x and SSPI authentication.
I did not check with another configuration.

Well the problem here is that the '\' character was not in the list of allowed characters for report parameters. This was compounded by the fact that when this happened it was simply returning with no response rather than reporting the error.

Both issues are fixed in [1730].
