Blanks in URL after Hash are not working

[daniel.kulesz]

I have encountered the problem that the Wiki System breaks URLs from the moment on it encounters a blank - but sometimes it is needed to link using a blank after a hash (i.e. when linking to some JavaDOC URL). Here's an example:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#String(char[],%20int,%20int)

I checked #6375 which somehow does the contrary for attachments - inserting a %2520 for blanks in filenames. But in the case presented before the blank is correct, since it's intented to be processed by the browser and not the webserver - the webserver gets passed the URL without the contents after the hash.

sorry the %20 in the posting were not intended. Here's the correct "non-working" URL:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#String(char[], int, int)

​http:"//java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#String(char[], int, int)"

Well, I know it's a bit odd, but that's:

• consistent (see TracLinks#QuotingspaceinTracLinks)
• changes in this area are very hard to get right and likely to trigger a bunch of unwanted side-effects

thanks a lot for the pointer and sorry for opening this ticket - I searched before but didn't step across this specific FAQ.

I don't think it was a FAQ, so no worries ;-)
