URL containing more than one equal sign in straight table not encoded as expected

[Sweta_Sharma]

When a URL containing more than one equal sign in straight table to access OTRS Tickets in the browser, The second "=" of the URL gets encoded to %3D instead of “=”

Example:

URL used:

 https://otrs.mycompany.net/index.pl?Action=AgentTicketZoom;TicketID=123456 

URL is modified to:

https://otrs.mycompany.net/index.pl?Action=AgentTicketZoom;TicketID%3D123456 

Environment

• Qlik Sense Enterprise for Windows any version

Resolution

This is working as designed.

Workaround

To make the URL work as expected use the delimiter "&" in place of ";"
Example- https://otrs.mycompany.net/index.pl?Action=AgentTicketZoom&TicketID=123456

Cause

Qlik Sense does not support separating URL parameters with semi-colon (";"). The official specifications only recommend the semi-colon delimiter for HTTP server implementations whereas ampersand ("&") is the default in most applications (compare e.g. Python's urllib or external JavaScript URL parsers).
