1. Open http://www.kaspersky.ee/static,kav,1.htm
2. Look at the right Kaspersky Anti-Virus box.

Confirmed; I see the problem with html5.enable to true. While it works fine with html5.enable to false.

HTML5 requires the parser not to remove the line break and makes it the responsibility of the higher layers to ignore the line break.

Why is removing the unescape ok?

> Why is removing the unescape ok?

Removing it makes the code consistent with http: and gopher: handling. I was assuming that it's safe to assume that http: handling is more correct than ftp: handling where they differ.
It turns out that removing the unescape is not OK. Not having the unescape step is a bug in the http: URL impl...

But it seems the old ftp: URL impl unescaped at the wrong point. The old ftp: impl. exhibited bug 309671 anyway.

I wish we had a proper URL parsing spec already.

That's not a safe assumption, because they do very different things with the resulting URI (e.g. HTTP sends the path as-is, URI-escaped, and the server is supposed to deal, while for FTP the path means something quite different and the behavior needs to be different).

So it may well be that "correct" means different behavior for HTTP and FTP.

For what it's worth, I just looked up the CVS blame on that unescape call (something worth doing before removing things), and the checkin comment says:

  Fixing bug 250909. Make ftp: URIs containing %00 invalid. r=bzbarsky@mit.edu,
  sr=darin@meer.net

Sadly, that bug number is wrong.
And so far I haven't been able to locate the correct bug.  jst, any idea?

Yeah. Sorry.

Here's a better patch.

That would be bug 250906.

Trim ftp URLs before unescaping and looking for forbidden characters.

Yeah, I like this more.
