Spaces in URI's are incorrectly parsed

[jbergstroem]

First off, this probably related to #8128, but my deployment differ which inclined me to create a new ticket instead of reopening the old one.

Milestones, attachments, folders in browsing and most other things referring to uri's with spaces in them are incorrectly parsed mostly in resulting "X Y Z does not exist".

My deployment looks like this: nginx → fastcgi → fcgi_frontend.py started by spawn-fcgi.

I've been running the multirepos branch for 6-8 months. I started seeing this some months ago but disregarded it (workarounds are not naming your stuff in such a manner), kind of "hoping" it would disappear when merging back to trunk.

By looking at r7953 i hotpatched source:trunk/trac/web/main.py:#L369​ and wrapping path_info in urllib.urldecode. That made trac accept the urls, but unfortunately not treating them correctly, for instance: clicking "Milestone 123" resulted in editing a new milestone called "Milestone%20123"

I'm currently running Trac 0.12dev-r9153. Other software is Python 2.6.4, Spawn-fcgi 0.6.3 and nginx 0.8.33.

Perhaps not an InstallationIssue, but quite installation specific anyway.

Problem is, apparently no Trac developers (a rare species) uses this kind of setup, so you're on your own here. Don't forget to share the solution if you find it…

I'll try switching nginx with lighttpd and see what happens.

Some hundred revisions later on the same setup it now works.

I don't think we actually did anything to fix this, so I'm changing the resolution accordingly.
