Description mikedlr 2007-09-07 13:14:12 UTC 
Some RSS feeds, e.g. http://rss.gazeta.pl/pub/rss/wiadomosci.xml have story links with commas in them.  When opening these in blam, the commas are HTML character encoded and so the links don't open correctly.  The links work correctly when put directly into the browser. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
blam-1.8.3-5.fc7

How reproducible:
every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. add new feed http://rss.gazeta.pl/pub/rss/wiadomosci.xml
2. refresh
3. try to open any story
4. story doesn't open
5. replace %2c with , in page (multiple times)
6. story opens
  
Actual results:
page opens after stage 6

Expected results:
page opens after stage 4

Additional info:
This will also be opened as a bug (same title) in the fedora core system.

This looks to me as though the cgi app hasn't been programmed well. You should be able to substitute any character for its url-encoded ASCII number and have it work.
I will investigate further.

The feed works again. This is probably because of the switch to AtomFeed.
