but when i click it,it sends an error.
Please fix this.

I believe it may be a problem with the # as it means something else in links. I can give you the files back if you need them. If you already have them, upload them without the #.

Maybe add a filter to sanitise file names to prevent this from happening. This would involve putting all '#' in an escape character (if any) or replacing/removing '#' characters.

You're right. I just hadn't thought of this

Almia · Dec 1, 2012

So the hashtag did the problem?

Btw,can you give this back?

I updated your entry. It now contains one that works, and one that does not.

Alternatively, use escape(url) via browser console.
Firefox: CTRL + SHIFT + K
Chrome: F12
IE: F12?

Such as --
escape("www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/pastebin_data/ki2k2g/_files/HC#6 Entry - Rovlen,Druid of the Ages.w3x")
Results "www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/pastebin_data/ki2k2g/_files/HC%236%20Entry%20-%20Rovlen%2CDruid%20of%20the%20Ages.w3x"
(www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/pastebin_data/ki2k2g/_files/HC#6 Entry - Rovlen,Druid of the Ages.w3x)

Just remove http:// if you are escaping a whole url, or this happens.

I actually think that encodeURIComponent is better. I think I recall some letters being escaped poorly. That or it was a problem in PHP when you use escape there. You definitely have to use rawurlencode there.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/encodeURIComponent said:
encodeURIComponent escapes all characters except the following: alphabetic, decimal digits, - _ . ! ~ * ' ( )

It is worse, since / is also once of the characters that shouldn't be escaped.

Ralle · Dec 2, 2012

Oh I see. It makes more sense to me as I would be escaping the values that need it.

OMG. Another 404 file again,sorry for the mistake : http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/pastebin.php?id=d314mr

Dr Super Good · May 1, 2013

I think it has something to do with spaces not being escaped properly.

Almia · May 1, 2013

Actually,i think the hashtag did it again.

Ralle · May 2, 2013

DAMN U HASH TAG. I have to fix this.

Ralle · Jun 11, 2013

I believe this bug is now fixed. It should also work with entries made before this fix.
