RE: [PHP-QA] Re: [PHP-DEV] Re: ; arg seperator

Just to reply to myself we are fairly broken here according to rfc 2396 but if you guys think thats acceptable until 4.1 (whenever that might be) then thats fine.. Relavant part of RFC: 2.2. Reserved Characters Many URI include components consisting of or delimited by, certain special characters. These characters are called "reserved", since their usage within the URI component is limited to their reserved purpose. If the data for a URI component would conflict with the reserved purpose, then the conflicting data must be escaped before forming the URI. reserved = ";" | "/" | "?" | ":" | "@" | "&" | "=" | "+" | "$" | "," The "reserved" syntax class above refers to those characters that are allowed within a URI, but which may not be allowed within a particular component of the generic URI syntax; they are used as delimiters of the components described in Section 3. Do we get complaints about + being turned into spaces (I cant find any mention of that in the CGI 1.1 spec)?? No people expect it.. people should expect that all reserved characters are coverted or treated properly (we should make it clear we are rfc 2396 complaint though). Now wether this happens now or at 4.1 is the question.. James
