doc/bugs/CGI_edit_and_slash_in_page_title.mdwn



Try clicking the Edit link for http://ikiwiki.info/todo/Add_showdown_GUI_input__47__edit/
The link produces a query string that the edit CGI interprets to
mean edit.mdwn in an Add showdown GUI input subpage.
There's something there now, but only because I created it. When
I first tried it, it came up blank.  I tried several different ways
of altering the escaping of the query string to get the real page to
come up, but I never succeeded, so I just grabbed the original text
from git and pasted it into the new page....
So somehow the generation of Edit links and the CGI for doing the
editing need to get in agreement on just how they're going to
escape slashes in a page title.
