Somehow I remember making a special effort to encode empty strings
with underscores, precisely to avoid this problem (though it was
appearing in Apache, if I recall correctly). Can you point us to
an example where it arises, in a URL that an Ur/Web app generates
itself?<br>

<div>I just ran into an awful problem combining urweb with
nginx. By default, nginx by default merges double slashes in
urls, eg: <a href="http://www.bla.com//users" target="_blank">http://www.bla.com//users</a> becomes
http//<a href="http://www.bla.com/users" target="_blank">www.bla.com/users</a>. This can be a
problem for UrWeb applications since a double slash is
actually how urweb encodes the unit or () value. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The solution is to use the option: "merge_slashes off". </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It's not a bug in either application so I didnt want me
make an issue for it, but this could be useful info for other
people running Ur/Web programs behind nginx...</div>
