Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Created: (ODATA-127) Whitespace in URLs must be percent-encoded


Whitespace in URLs must be percent-encoded
------------------------------------------

                 Key: ODATA-127
                 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-127
             Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: OData ABNF Construction Rules v1.0
         Environment: [Proposed]
            Reporter: Ralf Handl
            Priority: Minor


Some ABNF construction rules for URL constituents allow whitespace, e.g. rules contributing to the $filter system query option. Currently these rules use the WSP sub-rule which allows the space and horizontal-tab character. These characters are not allowed in URLs and must be percent-encoded.

So we need to either

- redefine the whitespace rule to 
     WSP = "%20" / "%09"

or

- define a rule for precent-encoded whitespace 
    peWS = "%20" / "%09"
  and use it in URL-relevant rules.

The latter approach is more explicit and less misleading as the current definition of WSP is a widely used convention
