Bug#622503: http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=YYY not working if email contains the symbol +
Package: qa.debian.org
Severity: important
My email address contains a plus "+", like this: emilien+debian@klein.st
When accessing the Packages overview page for my user at http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=emilien+debian@klein.st I do not see any packages.
What I do see is 2 empty lists for the following users:
<emilien@debian.org>
<debian@klein.st>
I suppose the + is used as a separator (space), so it tries to show packages for user "emilien" and "debian@klein.st". This is not working for emails containing the symbol "+".
FYI I accessed this page from a link on the mentor page for my new package: http://mentors.debian.net/cgi-bin/sponsor-pkglist?action=details;package=nautilus-image-manipulator . The link is called "(Debian QA page)".
How to correct this: If the "+" symbol is correctly urlencoded (if that's a verb), replacing "+" by "%2B", the page behaves correclty: http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=emilien%2Bdebian@klein.st displays the intended page.
Once on the correct page, the links to other pages (such as for submitted bugs, etc.) also work correctly since they keep the urlencoded value.
I marked this bug as important following the classification "a bug which has a major effect on the usability of a package, without rendering it completely unusable to everyone.". It obviously works for almost everybody, but not at all for me ;)
