W3C allows both constructs, ampersand and semicolon. https://www.w3.org/TR/html401/appendix/notes.html#h-B.2.2 Especially servlet containers and servers running CGI programs often use semicolons as a separator. I would say to parse either ampersands OR semicolons and keep a priority to ampersands. For example the query strings: ?fields=id&query=%22((release%3D{id%3D1004});(sprint%3D{id%3D1040});(team%3D{id%3D1004});(severity%3D{id%3D%27list_node.severity.urgent%27});!phase%3D{id+IN+%27phase.defect.closed%27,%27phase.defect.duplicate%27,%27phase.defect.rejected%27})%22 ?fruits=lemon;lime&family=citrus should be parsed with & separators only. The modified example without & character: ?fruits=lemon;family=citrus can be parsed with semicolon as a separator because it contains both '=' and ';' but no '&' characters. ---------- nosy: +nr _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue20116> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
