+1. Personally, I've never seen URLs encoded with ";" as query parameter separator in practice on the server side. The use of ";" was recommended in the HTML4 spec, but only in an implementation side note: https://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/appendix/notes.html#h-B.2.2 and not in the main reference: https://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/interact/forms.html#h-17.13.4.1 Browsers are also pretty relaxed about seeing non-escaped ampersands in link URLs and do the right thing, so the suggested work-around for avoiding escaping is not really needed. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
