Hi,

When I try to use ftp links that contain embedded username/password they display incorrectly as a mangled e-mail address.

ftp://username:password@somehost.com

If you follow my drift, is there a workaround for this?

nope, not a bug. Just they way things are. There is a workaround though, I'll find it and post a link. but, you loose some of the functionality with e-mail addresses. The code that processes e-mail address looks for the @ character.

Could you put a check in to sort out the ftp:// before it is checked for the @ sign?

Here is the thread:

http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?ARCHIVE=true&TOPIC_ID=16196

But the post where I posted the workaround was lost when the server this forum was on crashed. I e-mailed dayve to see if he still has it.

OK, here is what I did. (seems like it doesn't interfere with e-mail address conversions either).

all edits are in the inc_functions.asp file.

(I am using an unedited v3.3.03 inc_functions.asp file for the line numbers. If you have made any changes to the inc_functions.asp file at all, the line numbers may be different)

on line #78 change:

		if (Instr(strArray(counter), "@") > 0) and not(Instr(strArray(counter), "mailto:") > 0) and not(Instr(UCase(strArray(counter)), "[URL") > 0) then


to:

		if (Instr(strArray(counter), "@") > 0) and not(Instr(UCase(strArray(counter)), "MAILTO:") > 0) and not(Instr(UCase(strArray(counter)), "FTP:") > 0) and not(Instr(UCase(strArray(counter)), "[URL") > 0) then



on line #93 find the following section of code:

	fString = Replace(fString, CHR(13), "")
	fString = Replace(fString, CHR(10) & CHR(10), "</P><P>")
	fString = Replace(fString, CHR(10), "<BR>")
	if strBadWordFilter = 1 or strBadWordFilter = "1" then
		fString = ChkBadWords(fString)
	end if
	fString = ChkUrls(fString,"http://", 1)
	fString = ChkUrls(fString,"https://", 2)
	fString = ChkUrls(fString,"file:///", 3)
	fString = ChkUrls(fString,"www.", 4)
	fString = ChkUrls(fString,"mailto:",5)
	fString = ChkMail(fString," ",5)


change it to:

	fString = " " & fString
	fString = Replace(fString, CHR(13), "")
	fString = Replace(fString, CHR(10) & CHR(10), "</P><P> ")
	fString = Replace(fString, CHR(10), "<BR> ")
	if strBadWordFilter = 1 or strBadWordFilter = "1" then
		fString = ChkBadWords(fString)
	end if
	fString = ChkUrls(fString,"http://", 1)
	fString = ChkUrls(fString,"https://", 2)
	fString = ChkUrls(fString,"file:///", 3)
	fString = ChkUrls(fString,"www.", 4)
	fString = ChkUrls(fString,"mailto:",5)
	fString = ChkMail(fString," ",5)
	fString = ChkUrls(fString,"ftp://", 6)



Then on line #2108 change this:

     	s_str = s_str.replace(/\b(ftp\:\/\/[\w+\.]+[\w+\.\:\/\_\?\=\&\-\'\#\%\~\;\,\$\!\+\*]+)/gi,


to this:

		s_str = s_str.replace(/\b(ftp\:\/\/[\w+\.]+[\w+\.\:\/\@\_\?\=\&\-\'\#\%\~\;\,\$\!\+\*]+)/gi,

Richard...

I was having a similar problem with @ symbols in URL's and was referred to this post. I realize this was a fix for FTP, but is there a way to make it work for general URL's. I don't mind if I lose mailto functionality.

I tried this fix as is and it still puts my URL in an email.

Thanks
