Symptom
URL applications created in SAP Build Work Zone with a space in the URL do not work and result in an error.
At design time, the UI does not allow a literal space in the URL, so the encoded value %20 is used to represent the space.
However, this also does not work as expected at runtime.
Environment
- SAP Build Work Zone Standard edition
- SAP Build Work Zone Advanced edition
Cause
At design time, the UI does not allow a literal space in the URL of a local URL application. As a result, the encoded value %20 is used to represent the space. However, at runtime, the % character in %20 gets re-encoded as %25, causing double-encoding and converting %20 to %2520, which results in an incorrect URL.
Resolution
URL applications with a space in the URL are not supported in SAP Build Work Zone.
