Issue/Introduction
Cause
According to RFC 1738:
"...only alphanumerics, the special characters "$-_.+!*'(),", and reserved characters used for their reserved purposes may be used unencoded within a URL."
"...only alphanumerics, the special characters "$-_.+!*'(),", and reserved characters used for their reserved purposes may be used unencoded within a URL."
Resolution
You would need to add open and close quotation in the URL for the Local Database to be successfully build or install, for example:
"www.test.com/!/"
So in your Local Database file, the URL with and without special characters will look like the one below:
define category one
"www.test.com/!/"
www.test.com/test/
end
"www.test.com/!/"
So in your Local Database file, the URL with and without special characters will look like the one below:
define category one
"www.test.com/!/"
www.test.com/test/
end
