special characters in URL

[Former Member]

Hi, we are doing B2B HTTP:IDOC scenario. in this vendor provided a URL . but it contains special charatects like ? & . when we are going to add this URL in SM59 .we got error thats we changed " ?" as "%3F" and " &" as "%26". then URL saved . but when we try for test connection we got HTTP 404 error.

we send a test po for this then we got error msg like" Codepage conversion error Codepage Conversion from codepage DEFAULT to system codepage"

now the problem is

1. XI side or With URl

2. In XI Can we use URL with special characters? then is there any procedure to use?

3.In what way we can resolve this issue.

can you share the URL ... I think you url also has the query string along with it. try removing the query string

Hi Surya,

Theres no problem with the URL which you have mentioned. ? is valid in URL.

In SM59 you will simply get a warning. You can press enter to proceed ahead.

What type of SM59 connection do you use? Is it type G?

Do you use HTTP adapter?
