api failed with service_descriptions contained spec chars
Posted: Mon Sep 02, 2019 3:56 am
(Need to abbreviate some word for the title limits.)
API always works fine until we XPUT a service whose service description contained "/", ":" and " " (space).
Here's the problem:
This is the service shown on Nagios XI looks like:
This is the part message of same service by XGET via API
What I want is to update this service's check_interval via API.
Here is command:
Return message:
Why would this "20001-Serial0%2F0%3A0%20Status" not match "20001-Serial0/0:0 Status" in API?
Could you help me test it?
I am pretty sure that it is not config_name wrong or other issue, because I can XPUT (update) other services whose description NOT contained those "need-to-be-urlencoded" characters. (e.g. "10004-PING")
