394614 - Channels ending with a forward slash (/) cannot be opened at startup in chatzilla.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Other Applications Graveyard :: ChatZilla, defect)

Description

[michaelgibbs]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-GB; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6
Build Identifier: ChatZilla 0.9.78.1

When a channel such as #/a/ is set to open on startup, Chatzilla will instead open the channel with the same name minus the slash at the end (in this case #/a would be opened).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Join #channel/ on any server.
2. Right click on tab and choose to open at startup.
3. Restart Chatzilla.
Actual Results:  
#channel opens.

Expected Results:  
#channel/ should open.

Note that a workaround is adding "/j #channel/" to the commands used on connection to a server.

This should be an escaping issue. Fix should be pretty trivial, I think. Would like to get to this soon, not sure if that's actually going to happen.

Ergh, silly thing. Only replaces one slash. James, can I have a rubberstamp, pretty please? :-D

I'd suggest target.replace("/", "%2f", "g") but someone would hunt me down. ;)

r=silver on your version
