links from perldoc to rt.perl.org bug reports seem to be broken

rsFalse has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello,

I was reading perldelta, and tried to access any bug report by hyperlink, e.g. [perl #128187], which shows me
http://search.cpan.org/perldoc/https:#/rt.perl.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=128187
when mouse over. If I open it, my firefox shows strange url
http://search.cpan.org/perldoc/https:#%2frt.perl.org%2fPublic%2fBug%2fDisplay.html%3fid%3d128187
and CPAN says: "Not found"

The link appears to be correct in the source, so I suspect it's a formatting issue on the site. I believe the correct place to report issues for that is https://github.com/jonallen/perldoc.perl.org/issues.	[reply]

G'day rsFalse, "... shows strange url ..." Those are just standard escapes for characters which might otherwise be misinterpreted. `$ perl -E 'say sprintf "%%%02x", ord for qw{/ ? =}' %2f %3f %3d` [download] In this case, they all occur in the fragment identifier, in which '`/`' is not a pathname separator; '`?`' does not introduce a query string; and, '`=`' is not a key-value separator. Obviously, that shouldn't be a fragment identifier (the '`#`' should be a '`/`'); and the URI shouldn't have '`http://search.cpan.org/perldoc/`' at the beginning; but your (or, indeed, any) browser has no way of knowing what it should be — it just deals with the URI it's been given. — Ken	[reply] [d/l] [select]
