The table below lists the URL syntax for special characters. It is very important that if you have any of these characters within your portable Custom e-Catalog calls that these characters get converted to the URL Syntax below or the request will fail.
This details call will not work:
...smartcat.cgi?type=details&az=12345678&template=my_template.htm&ptno=48537 10"
This is the correct way to code the above call:
...smartcat.cgi?type=details&az=12345678&template=my_template.htm&ptno=48537%2B10%22
