miranda - issue #1647
Hyphens/dashes at the end of a URL in a message are stripped from the clickable hyperlink
Miranda Version : v0.10.2.0 / Built Sep 5 2012 10:45:26 Unicode Build : Yes
When sending or receiving a URL to/from someone which contains a hyphen ("-") on the end of the URL, Miranda does not make this part of the URL as clickable.
For example, if you send someone a URL like this:
http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r27542017-
Miranda makes only the following part of the text clickable:
http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r27542017
...and thus takes you to the URL without the hyphen on the end, which of course returns HTTP 404.
I have spent a lot of time reading RFCs about this and all sorts of posts on stackoverflow about this -- believe it or not, hyphen as the last character of a URL is actually permitted/legitimate per RFC. I realise it doesn't seem logical/read easily, but it's legitimate.
Thanks.
