Apostrophe entity ' not handled properly
opened this issue · comments
The apostrophe (') gets converted into an ampersand and apos;
This test fails:
def test_ampersand_appos
data = Plist::parse_xml('Fish's Chips')
assert_equal("Fish's Chips", data)
end
I'm having trouble seeing where these entities are processed. If someone could point me in the right direction, I'd be happy to help.

I think this problem is happening on CGI::unescapeHTML. On my system that bug is in
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/cgi.rb (line 370):
string.gsub(/&(amp|quot|gt|lt|#[0-9]+|#x[0-9A-Fa-f]+);/n) do
match = $1.dup
case match
when 'amp' then '&'
when 'quot' then '"'
when 'gt' then '>'
when 'lt' then '<'
It's missing 'apos' in the regex.
And it also looks like this bug is part of Ruby 1.9.2 stdlib. (http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/)
This seems to work fine as of Ruby 2.1 (which as of this writing is the oldest supported version of Ruby).
