<p class="MsoNormal">Some URLs contain semi-colons. For example, some GIT repositories<br>
support downloading snapshots using URL such as:<br>
<br>
"<a href="http://abc123.com/git/?p=gcc/gcc.git;a=snapshot;h=a5dd47" target="_blank">http://abc123.com/git/?p=gcc/gcc.git;a=snapshot;h=a5dd47</a>"<br>
<br>
Currently there is no way to construct SRC_URI with such URLs.<br>
<span class="il">Bitbake</span> uses semi-colons in SRC_URI as delimiters for various parameters.<br>
<br>
This patch allows using of semi-colons in URLs: ';;' (double semi-colon)<br>
in SRC_URI is processed as a single semi-colon that is a part of a URL name.<br>
For example, the above URL would become:<br>
<br>
SRC_URI = "<a href="http://abc123.com/git/?p=gcc/gcc.git;;a=snapshot;;h=a5dd47" target="_blank">http://abc123.com/git/?p=gcc/gcc.git;;a=snapshot;;h=a5dd47</a>"<br>
<br>
Note that it is not possible to determine the name of the downloaded file<br>
from URL alone. The onus to specify the proper name is on the user,<br>
via the parameter 'downloadfilename':<br>
<br>
SRC_URI = "<a href="http://abc123.com/git/?p=gcc/gcc.git;;a=snapshot;;h=a5dd47;downloadfilename=myfile.tar.gz" target="_blank">http://abc123.com/git/?p=gcc/gcc.git;;a=snapshot;;h=a5dd47;downloadfilename=myfile.tar.gz</a>"<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
In my opinion, if we’re going to support this, we should really support it in a generic way, in urldecode/urlencode & the URL class, and if needed leverage that in wget.<br>
