Subject: [Zope] Plone and Zope: space character in URI.....
With a brand new plone I asked, as I'm not logged
http://danielle.zettai.net/New_plone/index_html/manage_edit
I keep waiting ... the window of Iexplore 6.0 doesn't respond anymore
I notice that the title of the requested page is=20

le.zettai.net/New_plone/index_html/manage_edit&retry=3D
it does work.... as it should be.. I'm asked to sign in ...
meanwhile I have no such problems with Mozilla
I looked at the source and I can see "irregularities"
<a href=3D" http://... with a space between " and http
OK I am anyway ready to give up Plone... I encountered too many =
problems already
But just to be reassured... I looked at the rendered html given by a =
new Zope CMF portal (noname)
and I can see as well, only in a smaller number (1 for the =
index_html), the same fault.....
first it doesn't seem to have any consequences..
the link <a href=3D" =
http://danielle.zettai.net/noname/join_form">Join</a> is working...
but if I try to import the URL http://danielle.zettai.net/noname/ in =
HTml toolkit, it is turn not to answered...
at the contrary=20
http://danielle.zettai.net/noname/index_html will work and would also =

here the comment of Tidy for Zope CMF portal index_html
"URIs must be properly escaped, they must not contain unescaped =
characters below U+0021 including the space character and not above =
U+007E.=20
Tidy escapes the URI for you as recommended by HTML 4.01 section B.2.1 =
and XML 1.0 section 4.2.2.
Some user agents use another algorithm to escape such URIs and some =
server-sided scripts depend on that. If you want to depend on that, you =
must escape the URI by your own. For more information please refer to =
http://www.w3.org/International/O-URL-and-ident.html"
