Calibre 4.5, epub, check for errors within epub:

a link is given as in: ... <a href="https://www.xxx.yy/index.php?eID=dumpFile&t=f&f=4182....">...</a>...

note the ampersands in the link

When checking for errors within (the whole) ebook Calibre 4.5 breaks with an error message: "Parsing failed: EntityRef: expecting ';', line xxx, column yyyy..."

Within the editor (edit area and simplified view area) the link itself opens correctly an external browser with the specified page (a pdf in this case). URL encoding (like %26 instead of ampersand) will not display the website.

I think there is something wrong with the regex check within urls
