[PATCH] gitweb: fix esc_param

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The custom CGI escaping done in esc_param failed to escape UTF-8
properly. Fix by using CGI::escape on each sequence of matched
characters instead of sprintf()ing a custom escaping for each byte.

Additionally, the space -> + escape was being escaped due to greedy
matching on the first substitution. Fix by adding space to the
list of characters not handled on the first substitution.

Finally, remove an unnecessary escaping of the + sign.

The issues with this routine were exposed by Stephen's
"author as search link" patch. This should fix them.

Since the idea of esc_param is to replicate CGI::escape except for the /
character (if I read the comment correclty), a possible alternative
would be to just use CGI::escape on the whole string and then undo the
escaping for the / character.
