How can I make the browser read "%0A" as a just string, not encoded character

I'm facing a problem with URI in my web service.

One of my webpage has a link to another page like "http://aaa.com/abc.jsp?columns=abc,%0abcd" using get method.

When the browser(Chrome) opens the page "http://aaa.com/abc.jsp?columns=abc,%0abcd", it reads "%0a" as LF(The browser thinks "%0a" is encoded) even though "%0abcd" is itself a string.

Is there any solution to solve it?

Solution

  • I think this answers your question: URI encode, Percent-encoding the percent character.

    Basically, when you put your string into your URL, just encode the % sign as %25, it should be properly converted.
