html - Is escaping image url ok? -

i've been (not so) accidentally escaping image url's while now, , have never seen issues in browsers.

eg, changing this:

<img src="http://example.com/image.jpg" />

into this:

<img src="http:&#x2f;&#x2f;example.com&#x2f;image.jpg" />

but have been wondering if there issues this. i've left in place far due xss concerns around image url's come from, regex validity check them , not escape them too..

it create pages bigger curently..

has experienced issues escaping image urls..?

the "escaping" you're doing there purely on level of xml/html, , time document has been read , understood xml/html parser escaping gone -- long before "url-ness" comes play.

so, no, there shouldn't issues that, not many benefits either :)
