Sightly issue with URLs if it doesn't have .html extension

[rahulmengji]

Hello everyone,

I have a URL for example "http://help-forums.adobe.com/content/adobeforums:test/" when I provide this URL in href, the output that i get is "http://help-forums.adobe.com/content/_adobeforums_test/". 

More Details:

Suppose properties.link = http://help-forums.adobe.com/content/adobeforums:test/

<a href="${properties.link @ context='unsafe'}">Support </a> //this doesn't work

but if i append .html at the end of the URL it works.

<a href="${properties.link @ context='unsafe'}.html">Support </a> //this works

Why doesn't it work when we don't have .html in the URL?

This is Sling related, with the extension you basically point how you want to render the content.

As correctly pointed by Feike, 

This is sling resolution, please have a look at this URL to Script Resolution documentation :-

Preference order is Selector + Extention > Selector > Extention > Method of call (get,post etc).

Hi,

if the question about the ":" character: This character is special and if it's encountered the namespace mangling of Sling kicks in and translates it into "_namespace_".
