Fixed Links with blank spaces doesn't work

[soloarquitectura]

Affected version

2.2.1

I don't know if it's intentional or a bug, but this kind of links worked in XenForo 2.1.

Sample:

100 Contemporary Wood Buildings

PLAIN:

[B][URL='https://www.amazon.com/s?k=100 Contemporary Wood Buildings Philip Jodidio']100 Contemporary Wood Buildings[/URL][/B]

I can see a change of behaviour in XF 2.1 though I'd have to really point out that a URL that contains spaces that aren't encoded isn't really a valid URL.

URLs should be percent encoded or use plus signs to encode spaces in a URL to be valid:

https://www.amazon.com/s?k=100+Contemporary+Wood+Buildings+Philip+Jodidio

Or

https://www.amazon.com/s?k=100%20Contemporary%20Wood%20Buildings%20Philip%20Jodidio

 

[XF Bug Bot]

Thank you for reporting this issue, it has now been resolved. We are aiming to include any changes that have been made in a future XF release (2.2.2).

Change log:

Relax validation of URLs in BB code content as users may submit URLs that are missing URL encoding in some scenarios.

There may be a delay before changes are rolled out to the XenForo Community.
