send_file can't handle link with space and round brackets

[Orkoliator]

Code that causes the issue

async def handle_start_command(event): message_text, urls = shop_check.get_upcoming_data() chat_id = event.message.peer_id if isinstance(chat_id, (PeerUser, PeerChat, PeerChannel)): await client.send_file(chat_id, urls, caption=message_text)

Expected behavior

Bot should be able to send message with image from url.

Actual behavior

telethon.errors.rpcerrorlist.MediaInvalidError: Media invalid (caused by SendMultiMediaRequest) I think the reason is that there is a space and round brackets in my image url. I've tried to use "from urllib.parse import quote" but just received another error: ValueError: Failed to convert quoted_url to media. Not an existing file, an HTTP URL or a valid bot-API-like file ID

I don't plan to look into this any time soon. Though, the URL doesn't have an extension, so perhaps the library simply fails to send the proper information.

You can try appending something like #a.jpg or ?a.jpg. The server shouldn't care, but the library would know the type.

Or you can construct the correct input media directly (don't remember exactly how, but it's somewhere in the code).

The workaround I used is to just download an image with name defined by me and then send it as file.

In my case additional logic to check any link and modify it if it is necessary would be too much. Thanks for answer.
