URL with ; doesn't work in "Notes URL for Hosts"

[a3093 (Gonzalo)]

CMK version: CRE 2.1.0p16
**OS version:**Centos7

URLs that contain ; do not work in “Notes URL for Hosts”.

For example OTRS URLs:
URL: https://myotrs/otrs/index.pl?Action=AgentITSMConfigItemZoom;ConfigItemID=374

On click it shows:

URL: https://myotrs/otrs/index.pl?Action=AgentITSMConfigItemZoom

Try to urlencode the semicolon ; as %3B, see Percent-encoding - Wikipedia

Hello Martin,

I had tried that but it doesn’t work either:

with %3B it doesn’t cut the URL but it doesn’t decode the URL to transform the code %3B back to ;

One solution may be to apply an unquote() function when calling the “Custom Notes” to decode the URL.

Example:

import urllib.parse
encodedStr = 'https://myotrs.com/otrs/index.pl?Action=AgentITSMConfigItemZoom%3BConfigItemID=371'
url = urllib.parse.unquote(encodedStr)
print(url)   # https://myotrs.com/otrs/index.pl?Action=AgentITSMConfigItemZoom;ConfigItemID=371

In CRE version 2.1.0p17 this problem continues.
