Underscores and dashes are used to represent spaces in URLs: https://github.com/jacebrowning/memegen?tab=readme-ov-file#special-characters
That said, seeing a/_.b
be changed to a.b
is unusual. What text were you expecting to see in each cell of that meme?
FYI, using the POST
endpoint will generated URLs with special characters escaped:
curl -X 'POST' \
'https://api.memegen.link/templates/vince' \
-H 'accept: application/json' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"text": ["a","_.b","c-d"]}'
Sorry for the late response. I was expecting "A" in the first box, ".b" in the second, then "C d" in the third one. Either way, I suppose nothing's wrong with removing the leading space on the second box. I just want to know what's up with the URL collapsing.
I'm going to keep this open as a bug.
http://localhost:5000/images/vince/a/_.b/c_d.png looks correct but http://localhost:5000/images/vince/a/_.b/c-d.png incorrectly redirects.
I'll have a URL like this:
https://api.memegen.link/images/vince/a/_.b/c-d.png
But then it just collapses and turn into this:
https://api.memegen.link/images/vince/a.b/c_d.png
These work fine tho:
https://api.memegen.link/images/vince/a/.b/c-d.png
https://api.memegen.link/images/vince/a/_b/c-d.png
What is this behavior? Is it just how the browser handles URLs or is it something on memegen's side?
