• Component: Web Inspector

If I go to http://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Actualites/Menez-attend-un-signe/380997#xtor=RSS-1, I can't inspect the page due to the following failure:

[Error] URIError: URI error

The error is coming from calling decodeURIComponent() with this string as the value for urlComponents.lastPathComponent:

http://ww84.smartadserver.com/call2/pubjallajax/2368/17167/2077,2078,647,2163,7186,7185,630,713,650,1278,7186,631,3075,4738,736,632,12340,1075,1446,651,648,16752/4891911503/xtor%3DRSS-1%3Bsize%3Dsmall%3BFOOTBALL%3BLIGUE_1%3BSAISON_2012-2013%3BPARIS-SG%3BMENEZ_JEREMY%3BTRANSFERTS_FOOTBALL%3BMERCATO_ETE_2013%3BINFO_L_%C9QUIPE%3BD1%3B? xtor%3DRSS-1%3Bsize%3Dsmall%3BFOOTBALL%3BLIGUE_1%3BSAISON_2012-2013%3BPARIS-SG%3BMENEZ_JEREMY%3BTRANSFERTS_FOOTBALL%3BMERCATO_ETE_2013%3BINFO_L_%C9QUIPE%3BD1%3B

It looks like urlComponents.lastPathComponent is just set incorrectly.

[Antoine Quint]

The problematic string passed todecodeURIComponent() is actually "xtor%3DRSS-1%3Bsize%3Dsmall%3BFOOTBALL%3BLIGUE_1%3BSAISON_2012-2013%3BPARIS-SG%3BMENEZ_JEREMY%3BTRANSFERTS_FOOTBALL%3BMERCATO_ETE_2013%3BINFO_L_%C9QUIPE%3BD1%3B"

[Antoine Quint]

"%C9" is the part of the string that yields the decodeURIComponent exception.

[Antoine Quint]

Looks like the URI encoding is incorrect, and "É" should be "%C3%89" and not "%C9", although some pages on the internets seem to suggest that's OK (http://www.degraeve.com/reference/urlencoding.php). But the RFC 3986 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986) suggests otherwise (first full paragraph of page 16). We should just handle the possible exception thrown by decodeURIComponent() here.

We should probably guard WebInspector.updateWindowTitle and parseQueryString too.

We should fallback to urlComponents.lastPathComponent (not decoded) for displayName in the catch.
