404 error

[robbiebarrat]

I'm running gozim with wikipedia for schools, and whenever a link with parenthesis (or any symbol, really) in the title is clicked, I get a 404 error For example, the page titled "0 (number)" causes errors. The link on the page leads to: localhost:8080/zim/A/wp/0/0%2528number%2529.htm but when it is clicked there is a 404 error, and in the address bar is localhost:8080/zim/A/wp/0/0%28number%29.htm I'm unsure about whether or not this is a gozim error, but I've tried it with various browsers and all of them seem to remove the "25"s and then I get a 404. If you want to try and replicate this -- the ZIM file is here (it's ~2 gigs) http://download.kiwix.org/zim/wikipedia_en_for-schools.zim

EDIT: if it helps the hardware i'm using is a raspberry pi A+, and I've tried it with browsers netsurf, epiphany, and dillo only to get the same result

EDIT: I determined the exact problem, but am unable to solve it. Basically, "The way you get %2520 is when your url already has a %20 in it, and gets urlencoded again, which transforms the %20 to %2520" (source: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16084935/a-html-space-is-showing-as-2520-instead-of-20) so it's encoding the URL twice -- is there a way to fix this?

Hey @robbiebarrat sorry for the late answer.

I need to check if it means your zim files is not correctly encoded, or if gozim sometimes encode URL twice. I have to find some time about it and check it.

I have difficulties downloading the file, but I've tried on the full wikipedia indexed gozim: http://scaleway.nobugware.com/zim/A/29_%28number%29.html, can you please try to find the same page on this one ?

[akhenakh]

Got the file, some urls are already encoded, (list below), this doesn't happen on other zim files (wikinews, wikipedia ...), as it's difficult/impossible to know correctly if a url has been already encoded or not, I assume this is an error in this particular zim file, should be reported to the zim team.
