------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
> WidgetWorker.buildHyperlinkUrl generates invalid url when using certain
> sequences of characters
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: OFBIZ-5910
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-5910
> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: framework
> Affects Versions: Trunk
> Reporter: Gareth Carter
> Assignee: Jacopo Cappellato
> Attachments: WidgetWorker.patch
>
>
> If you define a url with parameters or contains url encoded parameters, the
> output from WidgetWorker.buildHyperlinkUrl may be invalid. This is because of
> using StringUtil.defaultWebEncoder.canonicalize(localRequestName).
> eg
> abc=&or1=123 -> abc=?1=123
> abc=&to1=123 -> abc=&to1=123 (this one is fine)
> abc=&and1=123 -> abc=?1=123
> abc=&gtabc=123 -> abc=>abc=123
> The owasp HTMLEntityCodec seems to look for special sequences (or, and, gt,
> lt etc) and change them. This to me is invalid because url encoding and html
> encoding are different
> Why are the urls encoding the ampersands anyway? (String localRequestName =
> UtilHttp.encodeAmpersands(target);).
