Title:
sub url from perl cgi library fails on special characters
Status in perl package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: perl
hardy: ii perl 5.8.8-12ubuntu0.4
Larry Wall's Practical Extraction and Report
lucid: ii perl 5.10.1-8ubuntu2.1
Larry Wall's Practical Extraction and Report
Between Hardy and Lucid, CGI.pm has a change that breaks "sub url" when both
the request_uri and the target contains special characters:
root@cricket:/usr/share/perl/5.10.1# diff CGI.pm.orig CGI.pm
2740c2740
< my $request_uri = unescape($self->request_uri) || '';
---
> my $request_uri = $self->request_uri || '';
If you pass in a target with a special character (in my case a +) and
your $request_uri includes that character the outputed url includes an
http escaped version of the $request_uri followed by the target url:
#run from /home/one+two
$cgi = new CGI;
$cgi->path_info('/home/one+two/link');
print $cgi->url(-relative=>1,
-query=>1,
-path_info=>1);
#output: /home/one%20two/home/one+two/link
I'm not sure why this change was made, so I don't know what other side effect
it will have, but it breaks all URLs that contain special characters, so it
should be removed.
