Bug 17393: Fix non-Latin chars handling in self reg
If you fill the patron self reg with non-latin characters, they will be
encoded with HTML entities (é)
This bug leads to generate a userid with weird behaviors:
é => eacute
ł => x
Test plan:
0/ Do not apply the patch
1/ Set up the Self reg feature
2/ fill surname, fistname with something like "Michał pouéàç"
3/ Save
4/ See the bad encoding/replacement on the screen and look at the data
The accentued chars are replaced with their html representation and the
non-Latin chars with a 'x'
in the DB
5/ Apply this patch
6/ Repeat steps 2, 3
7/ Everything should be ok
8/ Try to make sure this HTML::Entities escape was not useful:
fill surname with "surname <script>alert("xss?")</script>"
Save and look at the data
Followed test plan, works as expected. Signed-off-by: Marc Véron <veron@veron.ch> Signed-off-by: Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer@bsz-bw.de> Signed-off-by: Kyle M Hall <kyle@bywatersolutions.com>
