I always used to transform major information of an entity (e.g. title, name) with a slugifizer to a slug which doesn’t contain spaces, special chars etc.
Now I accidentally forgot the slugifizer and it worked too even with spaces.
Is a slug still required in this time?
Except for IE users of course…
Regards
PS:
I don’t want to start a discussion about this topic. I just want to know if all modern browsers (and backends of course) can handle all problems a not-slugged value could cause.
Slugs were primarily for SEO value.
URLs cannot contain spaces or other reserved characters. If you put spaces in your URL and it works, it’s because the browser is being nice to you, not because it is correct.
