[ruby-core:55724] [ruby-trunk - Bug #8581] URI.parse can't parse URI: (URI::InvalidURIError) "bad URI(is not URI?

Issue #8581 has been updated by hamiltop (Peter Hamilton).


According to http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986 '^' is not a valid character in a query string.

According to the document, '^' is not neither listed as a reserved or unreserved character. It should therefore be percent encoded.

The string you provide is therefore not a valid URI and as such URI.parse is correct in throwing a URI::InvalidURIError.

I get this (hr) as a HTTP_REFERER and URI.parse throws:

hr = "http://www1.search-results.com/web?l=dis&q=harukorean&o=APN10645&apn_dtid=^BND406^YY^US&shad=s_0041&apn_uid=3223038720574163&gct=ds&apn_ptnrs=AG6&lang=en&atb=sysid%3D406%3Aappid%3D0%3Auid%3D96343b7a58391e5d%3Auc%3D1372225677%3Asrc%3Dieb%3Ao%3DAPN10645"
URI.parse hr

(URI::InvalidURIError) "bad URI(is not URI?):
