\ backslash in string property #45

Closed JasonColeyNZ closed 8 years ago

JasonColeyNZ commented 9 years ago

I have a string property in an object that has backslashes () in the property and this seems to cause problems.

At the server the posted object appears as null.

If the backslashes are removed the posted object is removed.

Is there anything I should be doing to resolve this problem?

I am using Delphi XE6, VS2013 Community

OK, I switched to using SuperObject as it appears there is a long time delphi bug with backslashes not being parsed correctly, so uploading now works fine.

But now I have an issue with the updates coming down, I get a marshalling error and am not sure what to do now to get this working? any ideas?

the server is a WebApi and ASP.NET 5.0 rest site, which worked fine before I switched to the SuperObject.

Here is the json coming down to the delphi client.

'{"Project":null,"TaskList":null,"Comment":null,"Attachment":[{"datamemo":"This note won''t get through.... or will it?\r\n\r\nc:\testing\paths\with\backslashes\and\more\","datatype":1,"attachmentid":"{3FF9130A-834B-409D-AF97-BDEBD6CFA519}","md5":"","objectid":"{3A0C5B72-8A4E-48C2-8898-C45945462287}","objecttype":1,"projectmemberid":"","size":0,"modifieddate":2415017.95833333}],"Tag":null,"Id":0,"Description":"","SessionID":""}'

The backslashes must be escaped.

Yeah I spotted that this morning, this what is being received from the server, so I will troubleshoot this next
