Description Joseph Rushton Wakeling 2013-11-03 13:24:24 UTC 
In the following forum post Ali Çehreli posted a link that ends with ++:
http://forum.dlang.org/post/l53v9p$2uru$1@digitalmars.com

Namely:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operators_in_C_and_C++

The forum does not recognize the final ++ as part of the link, and so the resulting hyperlink does not point to the right place.

Hah.  I see that bugzilla also gets it wrong. :-)
Comment 2 9999 2013-11-03 13:38:28 UTC 
Wikipedia gets it right, though, even with the wrong link ;)

Funny ... :-)
Comment 4 Vladimir Panteleev 2013-12-03 20:17:29 UTC 
Should I just allow URLs to end with +? The general case is more complicated, since Wikipedia has articles (or redirects) for a lot of characters normally not seen in URLs, or used to delimit URLs, such as comma and quote characters.

Is this the right place for this bug report? IMHO it should be moved to https://github.com/CyberShadow/DFeed/issues
