urlize filter does not handle trailing 'dot-dot-dot' correctly

[wi...@agolo.com]

Hi, new guy around here.

I am an engineer for a startup (www.agolo.com, check us out :P). We work heavily with twitter content, and i've discovered that the urlize template tag/filter does not handle trailing 'dot-dot-dot' (which is common in tweet content due to all the truncation and whatnot) correctly, since it assume that the url can only have 1 trailing punctuation character. should I open a pull request for this, or was this problem raised before?

regards,

Will

you can base64 encode it, and decode it after (as a temporary solution)

Hi Will,

If you want to know if a problem has been reported before, the place to start is the ticket tracker: here's a search of all tickets that mention urlize:

https://code.djangoproject.com/search?q=urlize&noquickjump=1&ticket=on

From a quick scan, I can't spot anything related to ellipses; there's a recent ticket related to exclamation marks, though:

https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/23715

which would suggest that there is a known subclass of punctuation-related issues. If you've got a case that reliably breaks (which it sounds like you do), open a ticket describing the exact problem, and if you're really adventurous, try your hand at a patch and pull request. The full guidelines for contributing can be found here:

Yours,
