Problems with Discussions that Have &# Characters (218427)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Office 2000 Server Extensions
This article was previously published under Q218427 SYMPTOMS
When you create multiple discussion threads on a single Web page that
contain the "&#" characters in the subject line, the metadata is not
unique for each discussion item.
CAUSE
There are two completely distinct bugs that cause this behavior: - HrFormEncodeString (util.cpp) does not encode '#' characters, even
though they are 'unsafe' in URLs.
- HrCanonicalizeUrlEx (wsutil.cpp) truncates everything after a '#'
character.
MORE INFORMATION
File names that include the characters "&#" will be truncated at these
characters and the full URL will not be properly displayed.
