Fix unrecognized ! signs in URLs

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.

it is a phpbb bug, one which I don't want to dig into right now.

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::
