Re: gwt-rawhistory on github

I should have mentioned that the example I showed above was for Safari. Firefox does something different:

A link for:

fun/(&)(&)(%26)(%2526)/(%23)/(+)(%2B)(%20)(%252B)(%2520)/%E7%A6%85

becomes:

Safari/Chrome: fun/(&)(&)(%26)(%26)/(#)/(+)(%2B)( )(%2B)(%20)/禅

Firefox: fun/(&)(&)(&)(%26)/(#)/(+)(+)( )(%2B)(%20)/禅

So if you use GWT Anchors or generate links server-side, the value of History.getToken() depends on the browser.

No, I haven't. Thanks for the link!

From a quick glance at the code, it's use of location.hash and encode/decode will likely still cause issues for us. Over the next few days, I'll try to create a version of my demo that uses the new code.

It could be that my expectations are wrong, but I spent a long time back in June 2010 trying to work around the issues we encountered. The example I posted gives you a good idea of the challenge.

A link for:

fun/(&)(&)(%26)(%2526)/(%23)/(+)(%2B)(%20)(%252B)(%2520)/%E7%A6%85

becomes:

fun/(&)(&)(%26)(%26)/(#)/(+)(%2B)( )(%2B)(%20)/禅

%25 %23 %20 and the utf8 char are decoded, but + %26 and %2B are not.

I'm admittedly not an expert in proper hash encode/decode, but the above result seems wrong. I suspect it's something subtle in the combination of HTML decode of the href= attribute and URL decode of that value.

For a while I've been planning to move our gwt-traction library over to github. Over the weekend, I decided to start with RawHistory.

RawHistory is a module that I suspect few people are using. It used to have a note at the bottom saying that someday I'd explain exactly what it did. As part of moving it to github, I implemented a demo.

I'd appreciate any feedback, particularly if you've also run into history token encode/decode issues.
