Url Encoding Breaking Links


Recommended Posts

If I set my destination URL to: http://www.google.com

Then the link location becomes: klikk.fo/adserver/www/delivery/ck.php?oaparams=2__bannerid=3__zoneid=3__cb=ea9091a8e3__oadest=http%3A%2F%2Fgoogle.com

 

 

This gives me an error page saying:

The requested URL /adserver/www/delivery/http%3A%2F%2Fgoogle.com was not found on this server.

 

If I take the link location and manually change it in the URL bar to: klikk.fo/adserver/www/delivery/ck.php?oaparams=2__bannerid=3__zoneid=3__cb=ea9091a8e3__oadest=http://google.com

 

Then it works just fine.

 

It seems like the automatic URL encoding is breaking the link. Can I fix this somehow?

Hi @oblongsquare,

This is most likely an issue with how the invocation code is being placed into your website. We generally see this issue when people are using a CRM of some sort (e.g. Wordpress, Joomla, etc.) and are pasting the invocation code into the UI of the CRM, and the CRM is then encoding things again.

You need to find an appropriate way with the CRM to say that you are putting raw HTML into the site, and that the CRM should not attempt to encode the invocation tag in any way.
