[jira] Created: (TIKA-381) HtmlParser should strip linefeeds out of links

HtmlParser should strip linefeeds out of links
----------------------------------------------

                 Key: TIKA-381
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-381
             Project: Tika
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: parser
    Affects Versions: 0.6
            Reporter: Ken Krugler
            Assignee: Ken Krugler


A number of HTML pages contain links where the URL has a linefeed in the middle of it.

Browsers such as Firefox will automatically remove the character but Tika passes it back, which results in a broken URL.

[jira] Commented: (TIKA-381) HtmlParser should strip linefeeds out of links

Ken Krugler commented on TIKA-381:
----------------------------------

Things have changed w/the switch to TagSoup. Now the linefeed in the href attribute value is converted into a space before it gets passed to the XHTMLDowngradeHandler, which is unfortunate...we can no longer tell the difference between a real or an accidental space. I'll have to dig into this a bit more.
