totem-mozilla doesn't work when the URL has whitespace chars

[Ricardo Pérez López]

Binary package hint: totem-mozilla

When the URL has whitespace chars, the totem-mozilla plugin doesn't work.

For example, try going to the following web page:

http://www.gameprotv.com/the-conduit-video-5532.html

The URL of the embedded video is:

http://videos.gameprotv.com/videos/The_Conduit/The Conduit Avance 592x336.wmv

(notice the blanks). The video can't be played. However, try the following:

http://www.gameprotv.com/mando-de-nintendo-revolution-video-1413.html

The URL of the embedded video is:

http://videos.gameprotv.com/videos/Mando_de_Nintendo_Revolution/GPTV_Mando_Nintendo_Revolution.wmv

(without blanks). This time, the video is played perfectly.

TESTCASE: verify that the video plays after upgrade

I can confirm this.
Not sure though if whitespaces are actually legal. Like " and so on.
I think there is a rfc or so that explains that a whitespace should be %20 iirc.
If I try to open
http://videos.gameprotv.com/videos/The_Conduit/The%20Conduit%20Avance%20592x336.wmv
it works. So maybe this is a firefox or firefox plugin issue, because it does not convert whitespaces into %20.
Thanks!

Confirmed by another user. Submitted to upstream.

the bug has been fixed to svn and the new version will be in jaunty

[Ricardo Pérez López (ricardo)]

Sebastien, the bug is still reproducible on my Jaunty, using the two web pages I posted in the bugreport description.

The following still doesn't work:

http://www.gameprotv.com/the-conduit-video-5532.html

The following works OK, as before:

http://www.gameprotv.com/mando-de-nintendo-revolution-video-1413.html

May I need to wait for a package update?
