[jira] Created: (MYFACES-1014) ReducedHTMLParser handles unquoted attribute values incorrectly

ReducedHTMLParser handles unquoted attribute values incorrectly
---------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: MYFACES-1014
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-1014
     Project: MyFaces
        Type: Bug
  Components: Tomahawk  
    Versions: Nightly    
    Reporter: Simon Kitching
 Assigned to: Simon Kitching 


ReducedHTMLParser is called by AddResource to figure out where to insert <script>, <style> and other tags into a generated page.

If it encounters
  <sometag name=myname>
then it incorrectly consumes the trailing > as part of the attribute value, resulting in a warning message when it then can't find the end of the tag.
Quoted attribute values are fine, as are ones that are followed by whitespace.

workarounds: quote the value or put a space before the > character.
correct fix: check the HTML specs to see what chars are valid in an unquoted HTML attribute value, then consume only those when an unquoted
attribute value is found.
