Ticket #802 (invalid bug)
url tag broken when url contains '['
- Created: 2013-01-09 11:13:41
- Reported by: Snark1994
- Assigned to: None
- Milestone: None
- Component: markup
- Priority: normal
Note: I had lots of difficulty posting this bug report because the bug tracker won't let me use links: so I've put WEBSITE instead of an actual url, and used parentheses instead of square braces around tags.
The url tag doesn't parse URLs containing the '[' character:
(url)WEBSITE[0](/url)
(url="WEBSITE[0]")Example site(/url)
(url='WEBSITE[0]')Example site(/url)
(url)WEBSITE[(/url)
This was noticed on bbs . archlinux . org, but I'm afraid I don't know what version of FluxBB they use.

Hello,
I am not sure this is actually a bug since brackets are not a valid character within URLs.

Is it not? Sorry, in that case - it's a fault in their server for generating such links, then. This ticket can be closed.

They are actually allowed, but only when enclosing IPv6 addresses.
See this StackOverflow answer for reference.
