[rt-users] REST API; the plus-character (+) will be not processed; plain email

[MDroemer at gmx.de]

Dear RT-users,

thanks for your quick response.

We are using JavaScript API AngularJS and REST API to create new tickets.
There is a similar function in AngularJS, see follow:
encodeURIComponent(content);

Unfortunately it doesn't work, also.

Using firebug the content seems fine.
That means, the submitted data stream over the network is fine.

How can i check in RT the incomming data stream from the client of the REST-API?

What we are wondering, other special characters are visbile, for example '?', in a created ticket.

Thank you very much.

Rg
Michael

Dear Request Tracker users,

while we working with special characters, we noticed that the plus-character will be not processed by the REST-API, when a new ticket is created.
All other special characters will be processed.

Here a simple content:
content=
id: ticket/new
Subject: Test '\+'
Queue: General
 
You should urlencode that text:
 
$ perl -e 'use URL::Encode qw/url_encode_utf8/; print url_encode_utf8("Test +");'
Test+%2B
 
The + here is the space, the %2B is the plus sign from the string.
