requestURL with '&'

It seems that requestURL is still having problems with links that make use of the character '&'. The command was able to find the php file that I provided the address to, but it was not able to differentiate the '&' character. Thus sending two php parameters as one.
Example:

PHP Code:


		
			
requestURL("http://255.255.255.0/example.php?pa=test&pb=test2")

// does not work and will seem to read the parameters as 'pa=test&pb=test'

// as one parameter. Thus instead of it reading pa=test and pb=test2, it will

// read pa="test&pb=test2"

requestURL("http://255.255.255.0/example.php?pa=test")

// while this does indeed work.

Skyld has brought to my attention a way around this problem by sending one giant parameter and having the php code sort out the different data by using a tokenize() like command. However, this problem should still be fixed.

The sort of method that I used was:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

  if (!isset($_GET['foo']))

  {

    die("No parameter");

  }



  $tok = explode("_", $_GET['foo']);



  if ($tok[0] == "param1")

  {

    // ...

  }

?>

... and from that, $tok would contain the various components of the paramater if sent like this:

PHP Code:


		
			
ob = requestURL("http://localhost/example.php?foo=param1_param2_param3");

But this seems like a fairly crude workaround.

Yes it is, there could also be instances where I may use a "_" in one of the params I send, and thus it would be read as another param. Anyways, whether there is a workaround or not, this should be fixed as it is a bug.

Try putting & instead of &, or use ; as a delimiter (PHP supports this by default I believe)

Nope, doesn't work. I even tried escaping " and putting those around the parameters.

I guess you are trying this on serverside?

The stuff on serverside was not updated for some time, I have uploaded the latest npcserver to all machines now.

It is still not working. If I remove the 2nd parameter, it does work.
This is happening on N-Pulse Dev. Control-NPC
