Encoding errors cause hand links to sometimes break

The URL for 6DE= in board 1 is broken due to the apostrophe in "Opener's suit" not being correctly encoded (so the rest of the URL gets cut off).

 

b) http://webutil.bridgebase.com/v2/tview.php?t=ARDCHALLENGE:b5d0522b.7951.11e6.8e99.0cc47a39aeb4-1473730253&u=zebutin

 

The URL for 6SN= in board 13 is broken due to the ampersand not being correctly encoded. This time, the whole link gets carried across, but still breaks the result unless you replace & by %26 in the resulting URL.

 

This doesn't just affect the results pages, but also the tinyurl links generated by 'export hand' within the playing interface itself. Apostrophes don't break as badly - they appear to be simply stripped:

I don't have an example, but there was definitely a case in the past where the tinyurl link was fully broken like in the second case - probably for the same reason (the ampersand in a Queen & King response).

The first encoding problem is fixed now.

 

I think the issue with apostrophes being removed during "Export Hand" will require a change to the web client.
