osCommerce Core

The installation process cannot handle a plus (+) sign in a database password

Created: 05/Jan/08 05:13 AM   Updated: 07/Jan/08 06:39 PM
Component/s: Installation
Affects Version/s: 2.2 RC 1
Fix Version/s: 2.2 RC 2

Environment: doesn't matter


 Description  « Hide
The problem appears to be the excessively convoluted JavaScript (which should be wholly BANNED from osCommerce anyway) trips when passing a "GET" password that contains a + (plus) sign (it gets transformed into a space). I'd suggest that when fixing that that ? and & be checked also for unintended behaviors.

I do not know if database access past the installation process fails or not, I'll leave that for you to test.
