Trying to load a URL with a '%' in WV

[cbsteven]

This is my first time playing with webviewer. I am trying to load a URL that contains a '%'. It looks like this:

https://www.site.com/feeds.cfc?method=Orders&ver=1.00&merchant=319&URLKey=Jo%3D

The URL that it actually attempts to load is:

https://www.site.com/feeds.cfc?method=Orders&ver=1.00&merchant=319&URLKey=Jo%253D

It has replaced the % with %25, and it causes the page to not load. I have tried everything I can think of to trick it into sending just the %. Using different variations of to escape it out, putting the URL into a separate field and loading the field, etc. No dice. Any suggestions?

I think you are approaching this from the wrong angle

< encodes as %3C

> encodes as %3E

Now i can't find %3D but i should think that it is an encoded character not a string of individual characters.

its the = sign

= %3d

Hmmmmmm,

I still cant get it to display as %3D even with

GetAsUrlEncoded ("=")

which i would expect to work.

Maybe it is simply an = sign?

Try it.

oh well i hope this goes some way to finding a solution.
