I realized that the __came_from and __redirect_to url parameters I added to handle issues with the LoginAction and NewItemAction could be used for XSS or other purposes. So I check them using a new clean_url(url) function. This tries to validate that the url is under the tracker's base url and that the components of the url are properly url encoded. If it thinks something is wrong with the url, it will raise a ValueError. I decided to not attempt to fix the url's if there is an issue, better to bring it to the tracker admin's attention. Changed the code paths in NewItemAction and LoginAction that deal with the form parameters to use the clean_url function on the form input first.

Debugging Aids
--------------

Try turning on logging of DEBUG level messages. This may be done a number
of ways, depending on what it is you're testing:

1. If you're testing the database unit tests, then set the environment
   variable ``LOGGING_LEVEL=DEBUG``. This may be done like so:

    LOGGING_LEVEL=DEBUG python run_tests.py

   This variable replaces the older HYPERDBDEBUG environment var.

2. If you're testing a particular tracker, then set the logging level in
   your tracker's ``config.ini``.

SENDMAILDEBUG
=============

Set to a filename and roundup will write each email message
that it sends to that file instead to the internet. 
This environment variable is independent of the python -O flag.
