Milestone names need special character handling

[Brad Anderson <brad@…>]

I am using revision 940 and was able to create a problem with the milestone name having a special character. My milestone name was:

Flavors / Qty issue

and after changing it to

Flavors-Qty issue

everything worked just fine.

Sorry, I'll add more now so you can duplicate it.

The error shows up when you are viewing the first page in the Roadmap module, and attempt to click on a milestone hyperlink to drill into the Milestone module and list the tickets.

I was unable to edit the milestone name, because I couldn't get to the milestone page. So I had to do it in the sqlite database.

I think the only solution to this problem would be to forbid the path separator / in milestone names. It already gets encoded properly, but it looks like Apache still parses it as a path separator and throws a generic 404… not sure why though, as Trac should be handling the request anyway.

Fixed in [948].

Edit Milestone in the web interface fails when the milestone name contains a forward slash "/".

Steps to reproduce:

• In your web browser, go to Roadmap view.
• Create a new milestone named "test/test" and hit the Add Milestone button.
• The browser now displays the new milestone.
• Hit the Edit Milestone Info button.
• The broser displays the New Milestone instead the Edit Milestone window.

As far as I can tell, this problem isn't present in 0.8.

For trunk, it should be fixed in [1245].
