           Summary: incorrect http-url detection, query part ending too
                    soon
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: jens at kdewebdev.org


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.98)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

KMail tries to detect Url's inside of mail bodies and make them clickable. 

There is an error in parsing the query part of an HTTP url. I found this while
working with Typo3, there you find the character "[" and "]" inside of the
query part. E.g.:

http://localhost/index.php?id=7&tx_srfeuserregister_pi1[rU]=350&tx_srfeuserregister_pi1[cmd]=setfixed

Unfortunately KMail only detects the Url until the "[" character. 

RFC 3986 says:

>3.4. Query
>   The query component contains non-hierarchical data that, along with
>   data in the path component (Section 3.3), serves to identify a
>   resource within the scope of the URI's scheme and naming authority
>   (if any).  The query component is indicated by the first question
>   mark ("?") character and terminated by a number sign ("#") character
>   or by the end of the URI.

So almost everything is legal inside the query part.

A similar bug, already closed, is BUG 81281

I would be happy if you could change the detection behavior to become
compatible to RFC 3986.

Thanks Jens
