Nicolaas Matthijs commented on KERN-1334:
-----------------------------------------

SAKIII-1760 notices: James Bullen theorizes "URL is not encoded before sending as part of URL to proxy service. The proxy service does some rudimentary RSS validation
One part of this is checking that the returned xml has RSS like elements, but it does not strip the namespace off the QName before checking so if there is an explicit namespace declared the match will fail."

----------------------------------

Now matching on local part not QName.

The caller must encode the URL correctly before sending, that means the query string must be double encoded.
