Summary Can't render ampersands in URLs if content type is application/xhtml+xml

If I serve a page as "application/xhtml+xml", and include something like the following in the markup: <a href="SearchSubmit.do?t=e&amp;fid=&amp;ps=&amp;p=2">next</a> Then the URI that Safari wants to go to is: http://localhost/dvd/SearchSubmit.do?t=e&#38;fid=&%2338;ps=&%2338;p=2 However, if I serve it as "text/html", the URI is properly interpreted: http://localhost/dvd/SearchSubmit.do?t=e&fid=&ps=&p=2 If I try to build the URL using only ampersands, and not &amp;, then if served as "application/xhtml+xml", Safari complains about the markup. Firefox behaves correctly on the exact same page. Top of the page is served with: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

When I try to load Attachment 12410 [details] in a locally-built debug build of WebKit r18818 with Safari 2.0.4 (419.3) on Mac OS X 10.4.8 (8L127), I don't see the problems you describe below. Can you attach a test case that reproduces the bug, or does Attachment 12410 [details] reproduce this for you? Do you have any Haxies or InputManagers installed with Safari?

Confirmed in shipping Safari 2.0.4 (419.3) on Mac OS X 10.4.8 (8L127).

This issue has been fixed in WebKit ToT (tip of tree). You can try out a WebKit nightly build (download the DMG, mount it, then double-click on the WebKit icon) to verify that this is fixed: http://nightly.webkit.org/

Yep, appears to work correctly in r18821. Thank you! (By the way, when does an update go out to everyone?) For the record, I have no Haxies nor InputManagers installed. The attached test case DOES reproduce the problem in 419.3. I was not sure what your comment (#3) meant: did you mean that you experienced the bug with it, or did you mean that you cannot reproduce it?

See Bug 12199 Comment #3. > I was not sure what your comment (#3) meant: did you mean that you experienced > the bug with it, or did you mean that you cannot reproduce it? Comment #3 in this bug meant that I was able to reproduce the bug using shipping Safari. Sorry for any confusion!
