Views doesn't link correctly to files with ampersand in their name. That's because the URL is escaped twice.

I'm attaching a patch. I removed the call to check_url(), because it's done in l().

I tried applying the patch and received the following:

patching file views_upload.inc
patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line
Hunk #2 succeeded at 194 with fuzz 1.

I'm a little new to patching and am not sure if it's me or the patch file.

Please advise,

Mikep

I manually made the changes to the views_upload file and still get the same result. Any suggestions?

Title: Ampersand escaped twice in links to files » can't use Ampersand in views menu title

can't use Ampersand in views menu title. May be it's related.

If I enter "A&B" in views "menu title", it shows up "A&B" in the tapped menu. I tried a few combinations to no avail.

I tested regular menu item like 'a&b' (not associated with any views), it worked correctly.

Is there anything I can do (hack) to make it show up correctly?
