Unable to get values of querystring parameters

Question

I have a method written in my controller. I am passing values to this controller as querystring. The sample url to that controller method is:

window.location = "http://www.myapplication.org/Session/Enter?legacySessionId=fjD0pMTFTPFf6MgJZT0&RedirectPath=/Folio/OfflineDocument/EnqueueDocumentGenerationRequest/?FolderId=acf7egfsc0clz6ei&CourseId=vhvgyhgvhgvyy7yty"

My controller method has following definition:

[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Get)]
        public ActionResult Enter(
            string legacySessionId,
            string RedirectPath,
            string siteSubdomain = "",
            bool isDuplicate = false,
            int id = 0
        )

Inside this controller method when I get the querystring value for RedirectPath it only gives:

RedirectPath="/Folio/OfflineDocument/EnqueueDocumentGenerationRequest/?FolderId=acf7egfsc0clz6ei"

Whereas the expected result is :

RedirectPath="/Folio/OfflineDocument/EnqueueDocumentGenerationRequest/?FolderId=acf7egfsc0clz6ei&CourseId=vhvgyhgvhgvyy7yty"

It is missing "CourseId" part. Can someone point out the issue?

You have to encode the ampersand char:

& ==> &amp;

To will be:

window.location = "http://www.myapplication.org/Session/Enter?legacySessionId=fjD0pMTFTPFf6MgJZT0&RedirectPath=/Folio/OfflineDocument/EnqueueDocumentGenerationRequest/?FolderId=acf7egfsc0clz6ei&CourseId=vhvgyhgvhgvyy7yty"

& is the separator of arguments in the url. If this char is part of the value, it has to be encoded.

You need to escape ampersand in parameter. Just encode that parameter value.

window.location = "http://localhost:13203/Home/Enter?legacySessionId=fjD0pMTFTPFf6MgJZT0&RedirectPath=" 
                  + encodeURIComponent("/Folio/OfflineDocument/EnqueueDocumentGenerationRequest/?FolderId=acf7egfsc0clz6ei&CourseId=vhvgyhgvhgvyy7yty");
