set_hosttags failed to parse JSON request with special character &

[KNGP14]

We have taggroup-titles with special characters like &.

• api.get_hosttags() :heavy_check_mark: (works)
• api.set_hosttags(tags) :x: (fails)

Within the tags-dictionary there is a taggroup with "title": "Mail & Ansicht"

Exception: check_mk_web_api.exception.CheckMkWebApiException: Check_MK exception: Failed to parse JSON request: '{"tag_groups": [{"topi ... {"title": "Mail ': Unterminated string starting at: line 1 column 1778 (char 1777)

Workaround in check_mk_web_api/__init__.py:

@staticmethod
    def __build_request_data(data, request_format):
        ...
        # Workaround for special character &
        return request_string.replace('&', '%26').encode()
