[jira] [Created] (MYFACES-3731) HTMLEncoder.encodeURIAtributte re-escapes already percent-encoded string

dennis hoersch created MYFACES-3731:
---------------------------------------

             Summary: HTMLEncoder.encodeURIAtributte re-escapes already percent-encoded string
                 Key: MYFACES-3731
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-3731
             Project: MyFaces Core
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.1.11
            Reporter: dennis hoersch


In HTMLEncoder.encodeURIAtributte is a check to not re-escape already percent-encoded parts. But that code assumes the percent-encoded symbols to be uppercase letters.

So in the following link the '%2b' is escaped to '%252b':

Original:
"http://host/app/?ae=Item&a=Open&t=IPM.Note&id=RgAAAAB4E8INIm43RZNuTeFByn9IBwCfBp1RvH2jT7X5YNYS8KZjAAAApBU%2bAABNyiydsdzWRbj76MCJ9qhxAAAAmaj0AAAJ&exvsurl=1";

Encoded:
"http://host/app/?ae=Item&amp;a=Open&amp;t=IPM.Note&amp;id=RgAAAAB4E8INIm43RZNuTeFByn9IBwCfBp1RvH2jT7X5YNYS8KZjAAAApBU%252bAABNyiydsdzWRbj76MCJ9qhxAAAAmaj0AAAJ&amp;exvsurl=1

(http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#page-12 says uppercase and lowercase letters have to be considered as equal.)
