Also, URLs with spaces in them appear to be harder to share, in that they are not always automatically hyperlinked correctly. Would you consider using dashes (or underscores) in place of the dash in the stack-ed URLs?
- nirvanatikku 14y agoFair point. That portion of the URL is simply used for display purposes, so I can pretty much do anything; dashes, underscores, or encode it as a URI component. Seems that dashes/underscores are preferred?
- LukeShu 14y agoURLs can't contain spaces; the space needs to be "URL-encoded" ("%20"). Many browsers these days render URL-encoded characters in the URL bar. Firefox (actually Iceweasel) 18 handles this by displaying a space in the URL bar, but "%20" when I copy/paste it. Without doing any extra work, just copy pasting that URL after visiting it: http://www.stack-ed.com/#tag/python/user/14343/Ned%20Batchelder http://www.stack-ed.com/#tag/python/user/14343/Ned%20Batchel... Having URL-encoded values certainly is a usability problem, however, I do think that this should be registered as a bug with whatever browser you are using.
