Text::Markdown obfuscates email addresses in the href= attribute and in the text.
|
|
|
|
|
Apparently this can't be configured.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
HTML::Scrubber doesn't set `attr_encoded` for its HTML::Parser, so the href= attribtute is decoded.
|
|
|
|
|
Currently it seems it doesn't set `attr_encoded` for good reason: so attributes can be sanitized easily,
|
|
|
|
|
e.g. as in htmlscrubber with `$safe_url_regexp`.
|
|
|
|
|
This apparently can't be configured either.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So I can't see an obvious solution to this.
|
|
|
|
|
Perhaps improvements to Text::Markdown or HTML::Scrubber can allow a fix.
|
|

One question is: how useful is email obfuscation?
|
|
|
|
|
Don't spammers use HTML parsers?

I've [[patch]]ed mdwn.pm to prevent Text::Markdown from obfuscating the emails.

Email obfuscation is very useful --
|
|
|
|
|
in practice, spammers apparently don't use HTML parsers --
|
|
|
|
|
according to the only published study I have read
|
|
|
|
|
( a 2003 study by the Center for Democracy and Technology cited by
|
|
|
|
|
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Address_munging
|
|
|
|
|
).
