Hi, I have a small-ish client-server setup:
* a plug-in for tvbrowser which schedules a recording by sending CGI parameters to a remote recorder and * a scheduler program on the recorder which ... ahem ... schedules the requested recording. The plug-in uses libcurl and (explicitly) encodes "&" characters in the show's title as "%26". This also happens when I just "wget" the URL handed over to libcurl. The scheduler uses libmicrohttpd (0.9.62-1 on Debian Buster) to retrieve the CGI parameters and values and schedule the recording. The problem is that when I call MHD_get_connection_values(connection, MHD_GET_ARGUMENT_KIND, ...), an embedded "%26" has been converted into "&" before the CGI parameter string is parsed and this confuses the parser. Eg the request sent is /add?date=9.2.2021&time=23:45&channel=Das+Erste&title=Cagney+%26+Lacey&duration=10 (strace shows this as the data recv'ed) so the value of the "title"-field *should* be "Cagney & Lacey", but when the string is parsed into parameters, the "%26" had already been translated back into an "&" and I get "Cagney " as the value of the "title" parameter followed by an extra parameter " Lacey" without a value. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for helping and ... stay safe! Josef
