New submission from Sean Liu: In the document of HTMLParser.handle_starttag, it states "All entity references from html.entities are replaced in the attribute values." However it will replace the string if it matches ampersand followed by the entity name without the semicolon.
For example <a href="go?t=buy¤cy=usd">foo</a> will produce "t=buy¤cy=usd" as the value of href attribute due to "curren" is the entity name for the currency sign. ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: parserentity.py messages: 251654 nosy: Sean Liu priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: HTMLParser handle_starttag replaces entity references in attribute value even without semicolon type: behavior versions: Python 3.4 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file40588/parserentity.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25239> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
