[webmin-devel] FW: Problem with value assigned to text entry field

[Larry G. <List@ISComp.com>]

After reading ReadParse() in web-lib.pl, I assume the replacement of a '+'
with a space is by design.  Can anyone tell me why.  I have spent some time
trying to find out but either I don't understand the answer or I have not
found it yet.  More importantly, does anyone know how I can counter this.

Thanks,
Larry

Hi All,

Hopefully someone with more experience here might be able to help me.  This
seems like a trivial problem but I just can't see it.

I am trying to modify squidGuard regular expressions.  The file is read by
read_file_lines().  It is properly output to a hyper link.  On selecting the
hyperlink, the form data is then read by &ReadParse().  No rocket science
here.  The odd thing is that a '+' is substituted by a space.

Example:
Hyperlink:      (^|[-.\?+=/_0-9])(john|mary)
Script reads:   (^|[-.\? =/_0-9])(john|mary)



The hyperlink is created by the following (sorry for the wrap):

print "     <TD WIDTH=100%><A
HREF=\"edit_blexpr.cgi?blacklist=$in{'blacklist'}&entry=$entry\"><TT>",
              (length($entry) > 80) ? substr($entry, 0, 80)."..." : $entry,
              "</TT></A></TD>\n";

The variable in question is $entry.  The script reading this output refers
to $in{'entry'}.

Can anyone see what I am missing?


Thanks,
Larry
