\useURL and URL with spaces

\useURL and URL with spaces

[Tobias Burnus]

Hello,

I have an URL with spaces ("foo.cgi?opt=my options with spaces"). The
URL link is ok ("\goto[url(...)]"), but the typeset URL (\url[...])
misses all the spaces.

This is with 2006.03.23 09:57.

Any idea how to fix this?

Tobias

Yes. Attached. It works ok, if you click on the link. But if you copy &
paste the link  or read and type the link, you miss the spaces.

Expected (for first case "test"):
   "http://t.org/my test case.html"
Got:
   "  http://t.org/mytestcase.html"
thus all spaces got eaten up. (In additon I have a space in front of the
URL.)

quick patch:

\def\useURL
  {\bgroup
   \protectlabels
   \catcode`\#=\@@other\catcode`\%=\@@other\catcode`\/=\@@other
   \catcode`\_=\@@other\catcode`\~=\@@other\catcode`\:=\@@other
   \catcode`\ =\@@other
   \dodoubleempty\douseURL}

but then you get visible spaces -)

i'll send you a patch ; 

btw, then try your example with 

\setupurl[space=yes]

(adds stretch between brekable parts; old feature]
