Fix company name #14

Closed ihack4falafel closed 5 years ago

ihack4falafel commented 5 years ago

You might come across compnies that include reserved characters such as sub-delimiters in their names. Those names need to be URL-encoded when passed as a part of GET parameter. For instance, if the target company name is foo-&-bar-llp this will result in 400 Bad Request due to & sub-delimiter in universalName.

The fix will make sure its URL-encoded before passing it to the GET http request. Obviously the company name is made up hence the 404 Not Found

Hopefully the description is good enough.

Thanks!
