Save with Invalid URL Characters in the file name fails with Web Viewer 14.0

Products

• Output Management Web Viewer

Issue/Introduction

The Save report action in the Web Viewer UI does not encode the file name correctly when the "Save as" field contains invalid url characters.

Environment

Om Web Viewer 14.0

Resolution

Here are some that I found that causes problems:

 

Plus sign (+) - Converted to space

Pipe (|) - Bad Request

Backslash (\) - Bad Request

Curly braces ({ and }) - Bad Request

Square brackets ([ and ]) - Bad Request

Caret (^) - Bad Request

Percent (%) - ReportData

Hash/Pound sign (#) – ReportData

Additional Information

CIRCUMVENTION:
Save the report with a file name containing only valid url characters.
For example, by making sure the "Save as" field contains only alphanumeric characters. The saved file can be renamed to include the invalid url characters as long as they are permitted by the local operating system.
