[JENKINS-2610] "#" in username not escaped #14087
Description
Hi,
my CVS username contains a "#" character. This character is not escaped in the
link on the list of people page. The link points to:
http://qisdev.his.de/hudson/user/brummermann#his.de
The "#", however has a special meaning in html to jump to an internal link
destination of a page. So the browser only sends the first part of the URL to
the web server: http://qisdev.his.de/hudson/user/brummermann
I get to the correct page if I encode the "#" as %23 and type this into the
address bar by hand:
http://qisdev.his.de/hudson/user/brummermann%23his.de
The same problem occures in the navigation links on the left side on that page.
