FULL PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
------------------------
Unable to play assets from Video Search Results web page
when the asset name contains one or more of the characters
+ & # " %
Also the HTML is not coded to properly handle characters
< > & "
The proper way to encode special characters in a URL is to
use HEX encoding. Thus
test#name
should be
test#name
The HEX value for # is 23, + is 2B, & is 26, % is 25, < is 3C, > is 3E, " is 22
The proper way to encode special characters in a text string is to use
the symbolic name. Thus
test&name
should be
test&name
The symbolic name for & is & < is < > is > " is "

packaged as an AIX PTF so that customers can download
once to their local AIX server and distribute further from there.

This is Version 2.0.2 of the VideoCharger Player
