When I'm packaging linphone updates, I need to search package "tunnel". and found this "bug"?

http://software.opensuse.org/package/stunnel

click openSUSE_Factory. then show unstable packages

we'll see the first project is devel:libraries:c_c++, click into it.

OBS will return you an error messge "devel:libraries:c_c" not found, seems it can't recognize the last two "+".

That's a classic issue with HTTP: "+" is decoded by HTTP clients (including browsers, of course) and servers as " ", as defined in the HTTP specification: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_urlencode.asp https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1738.txt The software search must encode "+" in URLs it puts into the pages, i.e. NOT do this: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?project=devel:libraries:c_c++&package=stunnel but this instead: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?project=devel%3Alibraries%3Ac_c%2B%2B&package=stunnel ":" should typically be interpreted by browsers as just that, ":", as it has no special meaning in URLs and hence, this works too: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?project=devel:libraries:c_c%2B%2B&package=stunnel The "+" *must* be encoded as "%2B" in URLs though as, if not, it is interpreted by the server side as " ". Short version, it's a bug in the software search. (CC'ing Tom, as I believe he implemented it) cheers -- -o) Pascal Bleser /\\ http://opensuse.org -- we haz green _\_v http://fosdem.org -- we haz conf
