Angular Routing on encrypted parameter

Question

I have the following routing:

...
when('/sections/:bookID', {
        templateUrl: 'partials/book.html',
        controller: 'bookCtrl'       
    })
...

Where bookID is defined as parameter but it is also encrypted and encoded so the resulting URL looks like:

/sections/9XhNLs0tI%2fmr67rkJtfhaw%3d%3d

The issue is that this routing is not working?

PS: The unencrypted value works just fine. So, I know the routing is working.

The Encoding was made in C# like this:

HttpUtility.UrlEncode(Convert.ToBase64String(encrytedBuffer));

Do you know why the routing does not work this value 9XhNLs0tI%2fmr67rkJtfhaw%3d%3d it looks fine to me?

when you say its not working to do mean you can't access the variable in your controller or that its not loading the route view at all? — NSjonas

It is not loading the route at all. It loads the default routing. — Veco

The problem is it's being decoded to "9XhNLs0tI/mr67rkJtfhaw==." You should be able to solve it by double encoding / decoding.

Dalorzo Over a year ago

are you suggesting that : HttpUtility.UrlEncode(HttpUtility.UrlEncode(value)) will fix the issue?

@Dalorzo nevermind, you're right. I don't know why but I read that as you being snarky and copy/pasting his existing Url Encoding. Double URL encoding should produce 9XhNLs0tI%252fmr67rkJtfhaw%253d%253d

@Dalarzo I'm pretty sure either would work but I could be off. I haven't had much sleep this week so I'm not exactly firing on all cylinders.

The issue is related to these characters: "%2f"

There is a post already on this regards:

Angular JS 'route' doesn't match component with %2F (encoded '/')
