Adam Monsen commented on FINERACT-2664:
---------------------------------------
Thanks for the ping. I'm happy to take a look.
[~sebb], what is this breaking? I see that
[https://fineract.apache.org|https://fineract.apache.org/] does indeed contain
some standards-breaking links but it appears to be "failing" gracefully–I don't
see any ill effects.
Also, [https://whimsy.apache.org/site/project/fineract] is all green (probably
because it doesn't do this kind of check, but still).
If we feel strongly about standards-compliance/correctness here (and I don't,
TBH) we could use %23 instead of the octothorpe in the path. E.g.:
{{https://app.element.io/#/room/%23fineract:matrix.org}}
> Invalid character in URL fragment

> Key: FINERACT-2664
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-2664
> Project: Apache Fineract
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Docs
> Reporter: Sebb
> Assignee: Adam Monsen
> Priority: Minor
>
> The website contains several links of the form:
> https://matrix.to/#/#apache-fineract-home:matrix.org
> These are not valid URLs according to RFC 3986 [1].
> This is because the character "#" is not allowed in a fragment.
> According to the RFC, a fragment cannot contain any of the 'gen-delims'
> characters apart from
> ":" / "@" / "/" / "?"
> This leaves the following gen-delims as invalid:
> "#" / "[" / "]"
> [Unfortunately, many URL validators do not check this.]
> Ideally the "#" within the fragment should be encoded.
