pipes in URL #489

Open albangaignard opened 4 years ago

albangaignard commented 4 years ago

When working on exporting bio.tools content into BioSchemas, I faced an URI issue for some entries containting "|" character. It seems to be invalid urls.

https://www.google.com/search?q=inurl%3A%7C this query does not return any results.

example : http://cipro.ibio.jp/current/#Help|FAQ http://www.protobug.cs.huji.ac.il/guided_tour.php?global=protobug|no|201|2011|lifetime|1|2|2

@albangaignard I think there are websites that use pipes for separating things in the url or perhaps some other reasons. Is this a big issue on your end?

albangaignard commented 4 years ago

Thanks for your quick answer, I can leave with it by enconding "|" as "%7C" in BioSchemas export.

I think that's fine, and if google doesn't like some urls, then it is what it is....
