Hi All,

Has anybody ran into any issues when using special characters in URL's? I am attempting to put the following into the path url: /link?url=/Work/ does not appear to work at all where as /Work/Test/ does work fine.

Thanks

Hi,

Can you, please, share:

  • For what platform you are testing this?
  • Which urls you are using? Which one is failing, and which one succeeds? Preferably the full one like http://somedomain.com/some/path.

Hi,

I am testing this on iOS currently, the url's I am using are:

<universal-links>
    <host name="xxx.com" >
        <path url="*/link?url=/MyPortal/Authenticate/*" event="openLink" />
        <path url="*/link?url=/MyPortal/Documents/*" event="openLink" />
        <path url="*/MyPortal/Authenticate/*" event="openLink" />
        <path url="*/MyPortal/Documents/*" event="openLink" />
    </host>
</universal-links>

When I go to https://xxx.com/MyPortal/Authenticate/ or https://xxx.com/MyPortal/Documents/

Then it works as it should, but if i go to https://xxx.com/link?url=/MyPortal/Authenticate/ it doesn't appear to work.

Thanks,

Yes, it doesn't work. You can't use query parameters for url matching. They are ignored by the operating system.

Is there any way around this? Or is this just something that I have to work around?

This story is similar to #86 . You can check it out.

In short - you can capture all links from your website by defining only <host name="xxx.com"/>, and then process paths with query params on the JS side to detect, which view to present to the user.
