Sling request.getParameter() ommitting values

Question

I am getting an alpha-numeric value as part of request.

For example -> If request has token=qoN3qSQ+KwL+uwbpzITSHDBRl3xuqM0AYx3CSkoSUU= as query param value, req.getParameter("token") gives us qoN3qSQ KwL uwbpzITSHDBRl3xuqM0AYx3CSkoSUU=

So, basically it is ommitting the '+' from the value. How to resolve this?

Hi @goyalkritika ,If the value is encoded value ,Here's an example of how you can encode the "token" parameter value before sending the request:

import java.net.URLEncoder;
import java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets;

public class YourClassName {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String tokenValue = "qoN3qSQ+KwL+uwbpzITSHDBRl3xuqM0AYx3CSkoSUU=";
String encodedValue = URLEncoder.encode(tokenValue, StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
System.out.println("Encoded Value: " + encodedValue);
// Now you can use the encodedValue in your request URL, like: "token=" + encodedValue
}
}

Hi @goyalkritika , '+' is a special character and needs to be URL encoded. See https://www.urlencoder.io/learn/. Hope that helps! Regards,Nitesh
