RTC REST API + special char & (&)


Olivier ROSET (50119) | asked Feb 17 '20, 8:58 a.m.
 hello,

With RTC REST api, when I try to call it with a "&" in some of his arguments, I get not results.

The parameter who contains the "&" special char in his value is encoded in the url, so the "&" is replaced by %26
and still no results at all.

Any idea on how to encode this special char in the argument of the url ? 
Short sample of the url call : 

  <server base url>/rpt/repository/workitem?fields=workitem/workItem[projectArea/name='Le projet' and (category/id="/Unassigned/Contributions+hors+XXXX%2FRecrutement+%26+comp%E9tences%2FR%26C+380%2FR%26C+380+-+nouveau+profil/"]....

I think this is a general HTTP/REST related issue. Have you tried Google(OSLC encoding special characters)? I found several interesting hits.
