Topic: Referrer check not correctly handling spaces

Title says it all really. When you have a space in your URL, and your browser converts this to %20, the referrer check will fail.
I have no idea if there's a solution to this, but I just thought I'd report it smile

Re: Referrer check not correctly handling spaces

Actually, I'd argue that the behavior you're describing is normal, just like here: http://punbb.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=7577
If you have a space in your forum's URL, it's your job to make sure Base URL is properly encoded (otherwise, it's not a valid URL).

I would say, however, that install.php has a bug: it doesn't properly encode spaces, etc in the path.
