What options are there for restricting characters allowed in webpaths?
We use the default (?) System Web Path Separator of a ‘-’ to replace spaces, and what would be really nice is a blacklist of characters we want removed in the creation of a webpath from an asset name.
With our systems & sites we have a lot of distributed authors, many of whom know very little about what makes a good url. There are a lot of valid characters that are allowable in urls, including some like full stops ‘.’ that you may or may not want to necessarily allow. A url that ends with a full stop, copied into email may see the email client treat the full stop as being separate of the url. That results in people complaining of broken links, quick updates with remaps added etc.
