non-breaking space symbol is not allowed in url

robinst commented 7 years ago

Hey, thanks for the PR!

Do you have a reference for why the U+A0 NO-BREAK SPACE is not allowed in URLs? I looked at RFC 3987 and it explicitly allows the character (search for %xA0). Having said that, I think it makes sense to exclude whitespace characters in this library. Maybe we should list some others as well.

Hi, @robinst !

There can not be any of the types of spaces in the url. This is not allowed. RFC 3987 is indicated that the use of this symbol is allowed in ucschar. I do not know what is ucschar = /

Also, this link can be useful: wikipedia

Thanks, merged. I decided I'll add some other Unicode whitespace characters as well, see the list here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitespace_character#Unicode
