Subject: [pve-devel] [PATCH common] fix #5486: tools: encode_text: add '%' to list of encoded characters
Date: Tue, 28 May 2024 13:10:02 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240528111002.2655756-1-d.csapak@proxmox.com> (raw)

all text that is going through encode_text will at a later point be
decoded by 'decode_text'. The latter is decoding all percent encoded
characters, even those not originally encoded by 'encode_text'.

This means, to preserve the original data, we first have to at least
percent encode the '%' itself, otherwise it's impossible to properly
store e.g. '%20' there.

It would get saved as '%20' directly, but on the next read, it gets
decoded to ' ', which is not the original data. instead we have to save
it as '%2520', which gets then correctly decoded to '%20' again

This is especially important for the vm/ct/node description, as there
users can store external links, which already include percent encoded
characters.
