Robert Coup created GEOS-5004:
---------------------------------
Summary: Allow ":" in SQL view parameter values without escaping
Key: GEOS-5004
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-5004
Project: GeoServer
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 2.1.x, 2.2.x
Reporter: Robert Coup
Assignee: Andrea Aime
Priority: Minor
Attachments: kvp-parser.2-1-x.patch, kvp-parser.trunk.patch
FormatOptionsKvpParser is used by SQL view parameters, among other things.
Currently to pass in (eg.) an ISO-style timestamp as a view parameter, you need to do:
{code}&viewparams=from:2012-01-01T12\:33\:18+0500;to:2012-02-01T12\:33\:18+0500{code}
Would be a lot nicer to avoid the escaping of subsequent ':' and just treat everything up to the next ';' as the value. You can escape ';' via '\;' as before.
{code}&viewparams=from:2012-01-01T12:33:18+0500;to:2012-02-01T12:33:18+0500{code}
Turns out this is pretty easy. Patches/Tests attached against 2.1.x and trunk.
If your key needs ':' you can escape it still via 'my\
my:value;' => 'my:key'='my:value'. And previous over-escaping keeps working fine as well.
