Hi,
i have to open an uri with open-uri but URI is raising me an error that
an URL is an invalid uri:
p URI.split("http://xpto.com/index.asp?action=showproduct&id={D3E21D33-6DFF-4355-9324-AE1395CEB247\}"\)
URI::InvalidURIError: bad URI(is not URI?):
http://xpto.com/index.asp?action=showproduct&id={D3E21D33-6DFF-4355-9324-AE1395CEB247\}
from
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/uri/common.rb:436:in
`split'
from (irb):8
That's a strange ID but valid. I even checked the RFC 2396 and {} is not
a reserved character.
Best regards,
VP

Just file a bug at http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/ so it won't be forgotten.
If you also supply a patch against the uri lib, you get bonus points

That's a strange ID but valid. I even checked the RFC 2396 and {} is not
a reserved character.
But it is part of the 'unwise' set defined by RFC 2396 in:
"2.4.3. Excluded US-ASCII Characters
Although they are disallowed within the URI syntax, we include
here a description of those US-ASCII characters that have been
excluded and the reasons for their exclusion."
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2396.html
Just because a URI works in any (or even all) browser(s) doesn't mean that it conforms to the standard for URIs.
I think that URI.split is doing the right thing.
URI.escape() might be a workaround for you:
u="http://xpto.com/index.asp?
action=showproduct&id={D3E21D33-6DFF-4355-9324-AE1395CEB247}"
=> "http://xpto.com/index.asp?action=showproduct&id={D3E21D33-6DFF-4355-9324-AE1395CEB247\}"
URI.escape(u)
=> "http://xpto.com/index.asp?action=showproduct&id={D3E21D33-6DFF-4355-9324-AE1395CEB247}"
u1=URI.parse(URI.escape(u))
=> #<URI::HTTP:0x38cbd8 URL:http://xpto.com/index.asp?action=showproduct&id={D3E21D33-6DFF-4355-9324-AE1395CEB247} >
u1.query
=> "action=showproduct&id=%7BD3E21D33-6DFF-4355-9324-AE1395CEB247%7D"
URI.unescape(u1.query)
=> "action=showproduct&id={D3E21D33-6DFF-4355-9324-AE1395CEB247}"

I'm escaping and it works, but in my option it could be handled by the

Sorry, Victor, but yes it does.
Quoting from the end of RFC 2396 section 2.4.3:
[quote]
Other characters are excluded because gateways and other transport agents are known to sometimes modify such characters, or they are used as delimiters.
unwise = "{" | "}" | "|" | "\" | "^" | "[" | "]" | "`"
Data corresponding to excluded characters must be escaped in order to be properly represented within a URI.
[/quote]
So that last sentence pretty much nails it. Curly braces "...must be escaped in order to be properly represented within a URI."
So you'll have to continue to escape them yourself. It wouldn't be right for the URI class to depart from the standard here.
