>From the RFC: "The characters ";", "/", "?", ":", "@", "=" and "&" are the characters which may be reserved for special meaning within a scheme."
and "Thus, only alphanumerics, the special characters "$-_.+!*'(),", and reserved characters used for their reserved purposes may be used unencoded within a URL." However, Ofbiz is converting the '+' sign to a space. Can someone tell me where this conversion is happening so I can look for other possible exceptions? This is important to me because I am importing hundreds of thousands of entries and I need to handle these characters during import. Skip -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 08, 2008 10:14 AM To: OfbizUser Subject: Illegal Characters in an ofbiz URL I am importing an existing database with partyIds like P&G#1 and BEN+JERRIES I assumed that the standard URL symbols would be illegal, so I converted '&' to a '+' and most other punction to '_'. However, the '+' sign gets passed to the bash script as a space. In other words, "P+G" gets passed as "P G" which causes obvious problems. Is there a list somewhere of what characters are legal (or illegal) so I don't have to make guesses about it? Thanks in advance if this is a stupid newbee question.
