URLS with [ and ] characters

URLS with [ and ] characters

Postby blid2def » Fri Jul 11, 2008 12:31 pm

For those of you who've tried to post URLs with [ and ] characters, you might've noticed that the URLs don't work out correctly. I'll need to look into this, to see if it's a problem inherent with the phpbb3 software, or caused by a javascript I put in here to open links in new tabs. Anyway, for a workaround, all you need to do is to use these replacements in your URL:

Replace [ with %5B
Replace ] with %5D

Example:

Code: Select all
Original URL (doesn't work in the forum):
http://stockcharts.com/def/servlet/Favorites.CServlet?obj=ID2637471&cmd=show[s143129370]&disp=O

Modified URL (works in the forum):
http://stockcharts.com/def/servlet/Favorites.CServlet?obj=ID2637471&cmd=show%5Bs143129370%5D&disp=O

Okay - confirmed this is inherent with phpBB3. So until that gets fixed, please use the workaround. :D
