Bug #2330 for XML-RSS: quote encoding

Wed Apr 02 11:14:39 2003 Guest - Ticket created

Subject:

quote encoding

using XML::RSS 1.02 and XML::Parser 2.31 perl -v This is perl, v5.8.0 built for i386-linux-thread-multi uname -a Linux Beren.Simra.Net 2.4.20 #2 Wed Feb 5 16:58:59 EST 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux I am having problems with RSS files that include &quot in links. The XML parser appears to be translating these to ", which is fine, but the quotes are not re-encoded when they are saved, resulting in a malformed token when I try to reload the saved file. For example the link http://foo.com/index.cgi?id="Hi" is translated to http://foo.com/index.cgi?id="Hi" by the parser. When I save the link in an RSS file, the " isn't translated back to " This results in the line <rdf:li rdf:resource="http://foo.com/index.cgi?id="Hi"" /> which will clearly break the parser when it's reloaded. A simple patch is to add $text=~s/"/\"/g; at line 1789 of RSS.pm However, I wonder if the problem is actually in XML::Parser, since it doesn't make a lot of sense to translate &quot to " in the first place. I notice that &quot is not a member of %entities in RSS.pm

This isn't going to make much sense if you're reading it in a browser, since it will translate all my &quot; to ". I've fixed that problem in the above quoted tect. sorry for the confusion.
