Bug #89378
Updated by Sybille Peters over 4 years ago
The function ExternalLinktype::preprocessUrl truncates some URLs into an empty string. The function was originally introduced in order to enable URLs with Umlaut in domains, e.g. https://äh.de These are some of the URLs the function converts into empty strings: * https://www.nbank.de/Unternehmen/Ausbildung-Qualifikation/Weiterbildung-in-Niedersachsen/ * https://www.oldenburg.de/startseite/wirtschaft/wirtschaftsfoerderung/beratung-foerderung/gruenderberatung/gruenderforen.html * http://www.nwzonline.de/tv?bcpid=1701167454001&bckey=AQ~~,AAAAAGL7LqU~,aXlKNnCf9d9Tmck-kOc4PGFfCgHjM5JR&bctid=1040702768001 * http://www.uni-bremen.de/universitaet/die-uni-im-ueberblick/lageplan/gebaeude/building/120 These will then falsely be reported as broken links. The function preprocessUrl preprocessURl was originally introduced to handle domains with special characters, see #55155
