Urls with spaces

DenisKormalev

If there are spaces in url (even encoded) then textile broks them.
Example:
"http://somesite.com/some url.php":http://somesite.com/some url.php

source of example is (% 20 (without space) should be instead of spaces):
@
"http://somesite.com/some url.php":http://somesite.com/some url.php
@

[quote author="tamhanna" date="1291448911"]This looks like a legitimate bug to me. In the meantime, what about using something like bit.ly?[/quote]

That would do as a temporary workaround

DenisKormalev

Problem is not solved with bit.ly. There are number of people who don't like url shorteners, because they don't know where they will be after redirect.

I fully agree. But it is a workable solution for now ;)[/quote]

Yes a temporary workaround, until it gets fixed

Hardly. A wiki could never run with external websites listed with URL shorteners.
People want to know where to go. It's not really workable. I wouldn't put a site on the wiki with a shortener.

And please don't reply to my posts with a 'yes' or 'i agree'.

I've created bug report "QTWEBSITE-119":http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTWEBSITE-119 for this bug.

tamhanna, they are dangerous, because you don't know what will be after redirect. Maybe url was posted by spamer and you will go to virused site instead of going to news site. Url shorteners are of course good thing but only in some cases (like twitter).

This is not twitter. And I would not follow links of URL shorteners. Let alone that they are cumbersome to create.
