[Bug 3655] New: RFE: Ignore empty URI anchors

http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3655

           Summary: RFE: Ignore empty URI anchors
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: SVN Trunk (Latest Devel Version)
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: spamassassin
        AssignedTo: spamassassin-dev@incubator.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jeffc@surbl.org


When parsing URIs, please change program behavior to ignoring empty anchors.  Or
add a flag or new routine to ignore them.  Since URIs with empty anchors are
unclickable, there's not much utility in checking them, at least against URI
domain lists.  Empty anchors are being used to make URI checking less effective
by adding many unusable ones in an attempt to hide the real ones.  In other
words empty anchors are being used to exploit the limited number of URIs that
can be checked per message.  Ignoring them could therefore be a good policy.
