Fix unrecognized ! signs in URLs

Post by Ambush Commander »

I noticed this in this post: the url:

Code: Select all

http://ilia.ws/archives/114-PHP-5.1.3-Released!.html
Links like: http://ilia.ws/archives/114-PHP-5.1.3-Released!.html in a url tag

Which is incorrect. ! is a valid character in URLs, so there's no reason why it shouldn't be supported.

This is probably a phpBB bug, but it should be trivial to fix.

Perhaps report this to the developers of phpBB.

That's okay. We don't see !s very often in URLs anyway.

Their bugtracker doesn't have a search function... I can't tell whether or not it's already been reported ::is too used to using Bugzilla::
