BUG MIGRATED FROM SOURCEFORGE
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=800225&group_id=34373&atid=411192
Originally submitted by Brion Vibber (vibber)<a href="/help/icon_legend.php?context=user_wantsdonations&amp;user_id=446709&amp;return_to=%2F"><IMG src="http://images.sourceforge.net/images/icons/donate.png" alt="Accepting Donations" border="0" width="16" height="16"></a>  2003-09-04 07:07


Our checks for valid URL links aren't entirely
accurate, and some valid URLs are rejected. (For
instance, those containing the dollar sign $, which is
reserved but valid in a number of places, including the
query string.)

Rewriting the regexps with a closer eye to the rfc
might be a good thing.

Workaround: rejected characters can be replaced with
their %HH hex code equivalents.

Comment 2 Wil Mahan 2004-09-23 05:07:22 UTC

Links with dollar signs work correctly in 1.4; not sure about other special
characters.

Comment 3 T. Gries 2004-11-03 11:25:00 UTC

The underscore character '_' does also not work and needs to be replaced with %5F (at least in 1.3.7 version).

Bug 1951 talks about the use of [ and ] in urls. Are those fixed as well?
