Unable to Send URLs containing Ampersands

[neutronium-alchemist]

When sending URLs via the API, content after ampersands(&) is truncated, making some URLs unreachable.

This works fine via the webpage, however.

e.g.:

github.com/mozz100/tohora/i*sues/6&arbitrarynumber=2

is cut down to:

github.com/mozz100/tohora/i*sues/6

Could you confirm the way you are encoding the URL? You don't mention if you are using a language like python, or are you working in a bash script with curl?

e.g. if your URL is http://example.com?q=hello&sort=desc then it should be URL encoded as http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%3Fq%3Dhello%26sort%3Ddesc.

Hopefully, encoding is the solution to this. If not, please let me know and I'll fire the code up and try and reproduce.

It was via the Balena Dash environment variable, and later, through a node-red flow that I was trying to update the URL. Percent-encoding the ampersand fixes the issue.

Thank you
