[cricket-users] URL encoding question

[Daniel Sanchez Dorado]

Hello,
I have a problem with the cricket url encoding. I have link to my
cricket installacion from another software that don't allow the ";"
character.
This software doesn't accept urls like :
"http://XXX/cricket/grapher.cgi?target=%2FNetwork%2Fa5x4%2Fa5x4-fastethernet0_02;view=Octets"

because of the ";".
I have tried to enconde the ";" character:
"http://XXX/cricket/grapher.cgi?target=%2FNetwork%2Fa5x4%2Fa5x4-fastethernet0_02%3Bview=Octets"
but the grapher doesn't work. It seems to be a parser problem. It's
normal that cricket doesn't accept "%3B" like ";"?

Thank you.

It is the web server who splits tail of URL (after '?') by ';'
and passes chunks to CGI program.
If you write %3B web server does not split param list but replaces
encoded char with a simple semicolon.
That is unparseable by grapher.cgi.

Try changing the semicolon (;) to an ampersand (&).

What software are you using that rejects the semicolon BTW?
