<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2 face=Arial>I am using the REST interface to create and update tickets, as described in the wiki (<A href="http://wiki.bestpractical.com/view/REST">http://wiki.bestpractical.com/view/REST</A>). However, I am running into a problem with some custom fields that have a hash/pound symbol (#) as part of the name. Other custom fields work fine.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2 face=Arial>For example, when attempting to update a ticket I get a response like this:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>RT/3.8.1 409 Syntax Error</DIV>
<DIV># Syntax error.</DIV>
<DIV>cf-A Custom Field: aaa<BR>>> cf-Another Field #: 123<BR>cf-Contact Name: Ryan</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I get the same error whether I url encode the data or not. Is there a special way to escape or encode special characters to avoid this error?</DIV>

<DIV>Thanks, </DIV>
