[Bug 801128] Re: The linux url resolver won't allow for urls containing dashes

 

Joe Simpson, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc3

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  The linux url resolver won't allow for urls containing dashes

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hi, I recently brought my friend over onto ubuntu because Windows got
  corrupted and we had no repair disk. She's not happy with tumblr urls
  not working with dashes in.

  I've researched this and it seems it's down to something in Linux
  itself. I know it's a non-standard url thing, but I doubt tumblr nor
  it's users will be happy if Tumblr decided to not allow dashes.

  It would be lovely if this could be fixed :)

  Thanks,
  Joe :)
