Subject: [BUG] Unescaped '&' ampersands in atom header links
Date: Mon, 27 Nov 2023 09:17:11 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87o7ff4nlk.fsf@collabora.com> (raw)
Hi,
When parsing outputs from lore.kernel.org with Python3 xml.dom.minidom I
noticed that, for queries that contain '&' characters, they aren't
escaped in the href attributes of the title tags in atom feed headers.
So, for example, for this request:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/?x=A&q=driver+core%3A+Fix+wait_for_device_probe%28%29+%26+deferred_probe_timeout+interaction
The atom header in the output contains:
<title
type="html">driver core: Fix wait_for_device_probe() & deferred_probe_timeout interaction - search results</title><link
rel="alternate"
type="text/html"
href="http://lore.kernel.org/all/?q=driver+core:+Fix+wait_for_device_probe()+&+deferred_probe_timeout+interaction"/><link
rel="self"
href="http://lore.kernel.org/all/?q=driver+core:+Fix+wait_for_device_probe()+&+deferred_probe_timeout+interaction&x=A"/>
where the '&' character is escaped in the text of the <title> tag but
not in the href attributes. Shouldn't these be escaped as well? If so,
the fix should be most likely located in WwwAtomStream.pm:atom_header().
Cheers,
Ricardo
