RSS Feeds not escaping special characters
Posted: March 21st, 2012, 7:35 am
This could be a bug or improvement depending on how you look at it.
Some sites (nzbmatrix) provide RSS feeds without HTML Encoding characters
Such as
http://rss.nzbmatrix.com/rss.php?page=details&term=the big bang theory s05 LOL
Obviously this is incorrect as it should be %20 instead of all those spaces, however the RSS input box of sab allows the spaces to be inserted, reports the entire string back to you when viewing it, but only posts up to the "the" when querying the RSS feed, this poses the problem that it ends up downloading everything beginning with the word "the".
The underlying issue is third party sites not HTMLEscaping yes, but I think if sab is storing the rss url then it could escape the characters (or send the full string as intended).
Thanks!
