Extra spaces in links in my RSS feed.

Postby anony on Sun Oct 25, 2009 8:39 am

Hello.
I am trying to create RSS feed for site http://x264.nl, here is the link to service: http://www.dapper.net/services/x264_update. The problem is, that in the resulting RSS Dapper inserts unneeded spaces into urls, making urls broken. For example, instead of http://mirror01.x264.nl/x264/64bit/revi ... 1/x264.exe I got http://mirror01.x264.nl/x264/64bit/revi ... 264%20.exe. What is interesting, that it doesn't insert spaces into first 2 urls (the url in the RSS title, and url to changelog). Maybe it is somehow connected with links to exe files?
Also, at the creating stages, everything works fine.

hi anony,
Sorry for the inconvenience you've encountered. The root of the problem is that the links in the original page (http://x264.nl/) have special whitespace characters in them. Dapper currently doesn't deal well with these cases, and so the link comes out of the dapp messed up. I've filed a bug for the dapper team to fix it in the future.
in the meantime, you could try to ask the website owners to remove the whitespace characters from their links.

Thanks for the interest, and again - our apologies.
