Gateway API - URL Encoding / Decoding #17

Closed coreyo closed 13 years ago

coreyo commented 13 years ago

Many URL "GET" values located in the requests that are passed to the Gateway API should be URL encoded/escaped to maintain their integrity. LIkewise, each of these parameters should be URL decoded by the API when a request is received.

Is there any reason to handle this specifically? Question: Does Django automatically URLDecode GET variables?

datadavev commented 13 years ago

It appears that Django will handle this just fine. There may be some consideration within the client, particularly for encoding the query string for getRecords requests.

I am being careful to do this (for instance, when you input a search or an ID in a textbox). Do we want to keep this as a rolling ticket, or would you like to close it?

datadavev commented 13 years ago

Closing this as it appear to be a non-issue.
