[TW5] Why have static pages such a different url encoding?

[Tobias Beer]

For example,

Taking tiddler Working with TiddlyWiki as an example...

This is what the permalink looks like:
  http://tiddlywiki.com/#Working%20with%20TiddlyWiki

...and this is what the link to the static page looks like...
  http://tiddlywiki.com/static/Working%2520with%2520TiddlyWiki.html

Obviously static links are in a subdirectory, but how come

the tiddler titles have a different rather weird encoding?

Searching for %2520 suggests it's a case of double-encoding.

Can we do away with it?

Best wishes,

as far as i understand it is standart.    <$view field="title" format="doubleurlencoded"/>

Hi Tobias

Anything to do with encodings is liable to be a little mindbending.

The key here is to look at the actual static files themselves, rather than the URLs that are used to access them. For example, the link to the static tiddler  http://tiddlywiki.com/static/Working%2520with%2520TiddlyWiki.html ends up at the following file:

https://github.com/Jermolene/jermolene.github.io/blob/master/static/Working%2520with%2520TiddlyWiki.html

Again, there’s the double, encoding, but if you visit the URL you’ll see the file path given as jermolene.github.io/static/Working%20with%20TiddlyWiki.html.

What’s going in is that:

a) TiddlyWiki uses URI encoding to ensure that troublesome filename characters like the colon and slash are safely escaped

b) The browser uses a further level of URI encoding to encode unsafe URI characters like the percentage sign. This encoding affects the URI, not the underlying file path

As I say, it’s mindbending stuff.

Best wishes

Jeremy.
