[Slogger] Trouble With Variable "$url"

[Ken Schutte]

Hi,

I believe the problem is that it's generating invalid filenames.  The 
$url variable holds the full url, which could be 
"http://www.asdf.com/adsf?a=1;b=2" or something.  From saved pages in 
the past, what would the final filename be for something like this?  Did 
it escape some characters or just remove them?

Some of the old Slogger code used to have a copy of some of Mozilla's 
code for saving pages.  In newer Slogger, some of these functions were 
implemented differently, but I can try to find this part that cleaned up 
the filename and put it back in there.

In the meantime, it might be possible in the current version if you 
change $url variable in a custom javascript, although it's a bit 
complicated... somthing like:

var a = sloggerGetVar("url");
// modify a, replacing bad chars
sloggerSetVar("url",a);
