Encode URL parameters - #117

@xps - I see your pull request is rather old! Have you had challenges with thus repo accepting pull requests? The change in your PR, do you now just use your fork or did the same change somehow get made into the main repo by someone else? |
|
@Korporal - I haven't heard from the maintainers after submitting my pull request, and there hasn't been any commits to the main branch since then either. At this point, I do use my own fork. |
|
@xps - I did communicate with the owner a little and it seems that his level of involvement or enthusiasm is pretty much what it is. This is a shame because it discourages others from submitting changes and eventually makes the repo less attractive because there's no real effort being put into improving the code. I posted this question too: and haven't seen any reply so I'm now wondering whether I should embark on my own effort, one that I'd make an effort to maintain... |

Hi Hugh,
At this moment is is very challenging for only me to be actively involved all the time with this project as time is a big issue due to other responsibilities that requires my immediate attention at this stage.
I am very sorry that you feel that way about the project and really hope your mind will change in the future. From my side, I’ll do my best to dust of the cobwebs whenever it’s possible, but it still stays a community effort.

@faniereynders - Thanks for responding, but you wrote: "but it still stays a community effort." and people are submitting pull requests and issues that you don't have time to respond to. Yes it's a community effort but the community does have some reliance on the owner(s) to approve/deny pull requests! I don't see how you can expect the "community" to do much when they must eventually wait for the owner(s) to respond to pull requests? If you're too busy (which you clearly are) then I don't see how we can contribute much to your project, all people can do is submit pull requests and wait - or make their fork more active than your repo and so eventually take over the effort. |

To get back to this PR, I'm going to merge it back to master. Many thanks @xps! @Korporal let's continue this discussion on the Gitter space https://gitter.im/RestCode |
This is a change so that URL parameters are properly encoded. Previously a call such as:
Would produce a request with the following URL:
(i.e, the ampersand isn't encoded and the server only receives the first part of the string, "John", as the parameter value).
Strangely there was already a couple of
EncodeParam()methods but they weren't called anywhere, so I just made sure they were applied. I am a bit puzzled as to how this issue could have stayed undetected so I might be missing something.There was code to format dates with
.ToString("o")so I simply updated the overload ofEncodeParam()that deals with dates to use the same format.The changes in the .cs file are auto-generated, the real changes are in the .tt file.
I am hoping that this can be merged, and that the NuGet packages can be updated soonish. Let me know if I can do anything else to assist.
