URL Escaping in action_url -- Bug?

[Don Tetreault]

Hi,
 
We are in the process on upgrading fromNagios 2.8 to Nagios 3.0.6. Our
original configuration includes serviceextinfo definitions which set the
action_url to include a pair of macros as follows:
 
define serviceextinfo{
        hostgroup_name          meta-windows
        service_description     disk usage on C:
        action_url
/nagios_ext/cgi-bin/disk.cgi?h=$HOSTNAME$&s=$SERVICEDESC$
}
 
In version 2.8, the resulting HREF URL was properly escaped (with a plus
sign replacing each space in the service description), but the spaces
remain unchanged in version 3.0.6. A check of the apache access_log
shows that Firefox replaces the space with %20 in the HTTP request, but
I am concerned about unexpected behavior in our production environment.
 
Is this a bug? Should I replace the macros with literal strings,
properly escaped? Is there a better solution?
 
Thank you in advance for any guidance.
 
D. Tetreault
