Re: mod_proxy_html Issue

[Igor Cicimov <icicimov@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry mate not a C person my self :) From the look of it that function puts the non HTML characters like <,&,>"  into HTML format. Since &nbsp is already HTML formatted this function shouldn't affect it at all. But as I said I'm not the right person to comment on this hopefully someone alse can help.

I think it would be good though if you give an example what exactly is happening after parsing like "word1&nbspword2" becomes "word1 word2" or something else...

Cheers,

Igor

I think I have the latest version as I picked it up from the site.

Actually, after doing a little digging, I found that mod_proxy_html by
way of mod_xml2enc parses the html and, ultimately, puts it back
together again.  At the time of parsing, it replaces &nbsp; with 0xc2
0xca or something like that.

In the mod_proxy_html.c, you have this code.

static void pcharacters(void* ctxt, const xmlChar *uchars, int length) {
 const char* chars = (const char*) uchars;
 saxctxt* ctx = (saxctxt*) ctxt ;
 int i ;
 int begin ;
 for ( begin=i=0; i<length; i++ ) {
   switch (chars[i]) {
     case '&' : FLUSH ; ap_fputs(ctx->f->next, ctx->bb, "&amp;") ; break ;
     case '<' : FLUSH ; ap_fputs(ctx->f->next, ctx->bb, "&lt;") ; break ;
     case '>' : FLUSH ; ap_fputs(ctx->f->next, ctx->bb, "&gt;") ; break ;
     case '"' : FLUSH ; ap_fputs(ctx->f->next, ctx->bb, "&quot;") ; break ;
     default : break ;
   }
 }
 FLUSH ;
}

I suppose I need to add a line for &nbsp;, but it has been a long time
since I coded in c and I don't know how to handle utf-8 characters.
If you could help I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
