Version 4.3.4 fails to escape the string that contains Unicode characters: $var(test) = "Foobar s.à.r.l."; $var(test_escaped) = $(var(test){s.escape.user});

is there a way to ignore those characters or is it something we have to live with?
Some background: we are storing some user-defined data as custom attributes in acc src_leg/dst_leg. As you know the fields in src/dst_leg are pipe-separated. In order to prevent the user from hijacking the attributes we have devided to escape the user-provided fields. This is when we realized that this is limited to latin1 encoding. In theory we can escape it using lua just wanted to avoid the overhead of calling the interpreter too often.

I think escape.user is trying to follow the SIP grammar/constraints for username, or at list it should. For db operations, maybe escape.common or sql transformation are more suitable.
At the end, the code can be patches, probably it's about lifting some restrictions there.

You are right. The pipe character is a problem not for sql operations as such but for the ACC mediator that parses src/dst_leg. Therefore I had to use stricter escape.user instead of escape.common or sql transformations.

You can also use subst transformation to replace what characters you want in a variable.

Closing this one, either a new transformation needs to be added or use a combination of existing ones.
