.NET Core QueryFilter issue when inner query contains '&'

[copo]

There's an issue with QueryFilter when it tries to decode a query string with inner contents containing an ampersand (&), e.g.

?{"where":{"CompanyName":{"contains":"Bob&Larry's Garage"}}}?anotherParameter=1

The ExtractAndDecodeQueryString method in QueryFns finds the first instance of an '&' in the query string and cuts off everything after that first instance, which I assume is to remove any additional parameters, such as 'anotherParameter' above. However, given the example above, it returns:

?{"where":{"CompanyName":{"contains":"Bob

QueryFilter blows up a few lines later when it passes this string to the EntityQuery constructor, which tries to deserialize the above as json.

Also, escaping the '&' doesn't really get us anywhere as there's no place where it is un-escaped.

ok, I just put up a fix on Nuget ( and GitHub). Nuget version is 1.0.3.1. and again thanks for the catch.
