NT4: problem with "#" in path of image name

[bwhisler]

NT 4.47, Clarion 6.3 ABC

I'm having a problem with an image on a NetWebPage when the file name contains a "#". In this case, the image just does not display however it I can the file name to not have the "#" it works fine. Note that in my test case it is " #' (space before pound symbol) and not "&#" which I know if issue in HTML.

Any suggestions on how to work around this?

um, well the most obvious _work around_ is to not name files with a # in the name.

as far as a fix goes, I'll have a look to see what can be done.

I would love to do the obvious workaround of not using the "#" in the name but unfortunately the images are coming from a folder where the customer can copy in whatever they want.

So with that, I will be awaiting to see what you can find.

Thanks!

Update to this topic. The same problem will exist if the following are in the file name or path information. Also same with passed information on the URL:

Problem Characters:        #  '   ;

Researching the NetWeb.clw code, the older "_Clean" routine handled these characters however that routine has been changed to just call "_jsok" which does not.

I REALLY need a solution to this issue because I am having to work will file names that are outside of my control.

Hi Barton,

I've fixed this in NetTalk 5, PR13 and NetTalk 4, 4.48 builds.
They're both in the process of being uploaded, which may take a bit of time yet, so you should be able to try it from some time tomorrow.

Hi Guys,
yes there is a small regression in 4.48 and PR13. 4.49 is being uploaded, PR14 should be up late today or tomorrow.

the fix is straight-forward and can be applied by yourselves if necessary:

NetTalk 4.48
\clarion\libsrc\netweb.clw
line circa 2879 is
loc:src = self._MakeURL(self.escape(p_src,net:dos))
and should be
loc:src = self._MakeURL(self.escape(p_src,net:bigplus+net:dos))

NetTalk 5, PR13
change is the same at line circa 3123

Cheers
Bruce
