URL with a variable which contains a space character

8 years ago • updated by 8 years ago • 10

i have a URL link response which is generated from a user input variable.

(the url has a parameter as a user search query)

The user input can contain a space . I noticed that a space character is trimmed in URL calculated value. Looks like this is a but. I assume that the variable value supposed to be encoded correctly.

Hi Vladimir,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Could you please provide us with more details so that we can debug this and fix the same?

hi, sure, i can provide some more details:

1. Create user input node & assign its value into a variable "var1".

2. create url link message node like this: www.google.com?q={var1}

3. if you run the bot & end user enters a value with a space "nice house", then the URL will be generated as : "www.google.com?q=nicehouse"

however i would expect to be generated "www.google.com?q=nice%20house"

Yeah! Would be great! When I make after a user input something like google.com/q={var1} it is like google.com/q=just a test

But I want something like /q=just+a+test

Can u pls fix that.
