URI.Munge
TYPE: string/null
VERSION: 1.3.0
DEFAULT: NULL
--DESCRIPTION--
<p>
Munges all browsable (usually http, https and ftp)
absolute URIs into another URI, usually a URI redirection service.
This directive accepts a URI, formatted with a <code>%s</code> where
the url-encoded original URI should be inserted (sample:
<code>http://www.google.com/url?q=%s</code>).
</p>
<p>
Uses for this directive:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Prevent PageRank leaks, while being fairly transparent
to users (you may also want to add some client side JavaScript to
override the text in the statusbar). <strong>Notice</strong>:
Many security experts believe that this form of protection does not deter spam-bots.
</li>
<li>
Redirect users to a splash page telling them they are leaving your
website. While this is poor usability practice, it is often mandated
in corporate environments.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Prior to HTML Purifier 3.1.1, this directive also enabled the munging
of browsable external resources, which could break things if your redirection
script was a splash page or used <code>meta</code> tags. To revert to
previous behavior, please use %URI.MungeResources.
</p>
<p>
You may want to also use %URI.MungeSecretKey along with this directive
in order to enforce what URIs your redirector script allows. Open
redirector scripts can be a security risk and negatively affect the
reputation of your domain name.
</p>
<p>
Starting with HTML Purifier 3.1.1, there is also these substitutions:
</p>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Key</th>
<th>Description</th>
<th>Example <code><a href=""></code></th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>%r</td>
<td>1 - The URI embeds a resource<br />(blank) - The URI is merely a link</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>%n</td>
<td>The name of the tag this URI came from</td>
<td>a</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>%m</td>
<td>The name of the attribute this URI came from</td>
<td>href</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>%p</td>
<td>The name of the CSS property this URI came from, or blank if irrelevant</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>
Admittedly, these letters are somewhat arbitrary; the only stipulation
was that they couldn't be a through f. r is for resource (I would have preferred
e, but you take what you can get), n is for name, m
was picked because it came after n (and I couldn't use a), p is for
property.
