[twitter-dev] Re: HTML escaping by Twitter is really a bug

[Bjoern]

(somehow got the response above as email, too - sorry for replying
twice...)

Hi,

look for example at this: http://twitter.com/statuses/show/2689100482.json

My status update was "test html escaping by twitter <b>bold</b>" but
Twitter sends me "test html escaping by twitter &lt;b&gt;bold&lt;\/
b&gt;"

So it has transformed the "<" and "<" into HTML entities &lt; and &gt;
-
that's another thing than URL escaping.

Hope that clarifies it?

Best wishes,

Björn
