1) Give a description of the problem
I’m trying to post data to a emoncms server and I have built the URL but webcore is generating an error, but if I copy and paste the ULR in the browser it works fine

2) What is the expected behaviour?
To post results to emoncms server

3) What is happening/not happening?
getting error

Check for white space and other characters? I believe some browsers automatically do that urlencode which is why it works for when you do it directly.

Edit: You might be able to cheat by using urlEncode()

rocksolidsr · 2019-05-14 15:10:51 UTC

I do not see any white space in this URL
http://WEBPAGE/emoncms/input/post?node=RockHouse&amp;fulljson={"Power":3323,"Energy":21.674,"DownstairsTemperature":67,"UpstairsTemperature":65,"CadenTemperature":63,"KieraTemperature":63,"KitchenTemperature":67.1}&amp;apikey=APIkey

It says at index 81 which is either the = sign or {

I tried the urlEncode() but that seemed to make it worse and added an extra https:// for some reason

rocksolidsr · 2019-05-14 19:26:39 UTC

found out it was the { and } had to replace with urlEncode version %7B and %7D

Can you post the code you ended up using? I’m trying to do the same thing.
