Re: [platform-ua-dev] problem with topic URLs that include a "+"

["Curtis D'Entremont" <curtispd@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Richard,

I can confirm there is indeed some code
that explicitly looks for '+' and replaces with a space; I suspect this
was a means of accessing documents whose filenames had spaces in them.
However since the documentation for help doesn't state this restriction
then this is a bug.

There appear to be two places where
the escaping happens (on toc load, and topic display), so unfortunately
escaping doesn't do the trick. 

I've opened the following bug on your
behalf:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=137047

Let's continue the discussion in the
bug. Can you (and anyone else interested) CC yourself to the bug?

Thanks,
Curt

this toc entry also fails to find the file topics/test%2Bcase.htm:

   <topic label="Test+case" href="">
Am I missing some additional escapes?

In any event, this would not really solve our problem, since renaming
all of the affected topics in this fashion would cause other problems
for us.
