------------------------------
Summary: Check missing if unwise characters (backslash etc., see
rfc2396) are used
Key: VALIDATOR-396
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VALIDATOR-396
Project: Commons Validator
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Routines
Affects Versions: 1.5.0
Environment: all
Reporter: dr0i
>From the rfc2396:
"
Other characters are excluded because gateways and other transport
agents are known to sometimes modify such characters, or they are
used as delimiters.
unwise = "{" | "}" | "|" | "\" | "^" | "[" | "]" | "`"
Data corresponding to excluded characters must be escaped in order to
be properly represented within a URI.
"
The URLValidator doesn't check if an "unwise" character is used as unescaped
char and subsequently reports a URL as valid if it has an unwise character in
it. There are some applications out there which break eating such a URL.
