Auto-uploading with special characters

When attempting to use an auto-upload rule that maps:

https://images.unsplash.com/ to https://res.cloudinary.com/tgtbatphone/image/upload/unsplash/

it appears that escaped special characters are not working.

Original image (1000x1000): https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1518821703881-9da5a9f42038?fm=jpg&crop=entropy&fit=crop&h=1000&w=1000

Auto-upload, non-escaped (6240 x 4160): https://res.cloudinary.com/tgtbatphone/image/upload/unsplash/photo-1518821703881-9da5a9f42038?fm=jpg&crop=entropy&fit=crop&h=1000&w=1000

Auto-upload, escaped (400 error): https://res.cloudinary.com/tgtbatphone/image/upload/unsplash/photo-1518821703881-9da5a9f42038%3Ffm=jpg%26crop=entropy%26fit=crop%26h=1000%26w=1000

Any tips on getting query string arguments through for auto-uploads?

Hello,

Please note that special characters should be double-escaped. In your case, the following should work- https://res.cloudinary.com/tgtbatphone/image/upload/unsplash/photo-1518821703881-9da5a9f42038?fm=jpg%2526crop=entropy%2526fit=crop%2526h=1000%2526w=1000

Hope this helps, please let us know if you have any other questions.

Thanks

Thanks for the response. In your URL, we're still getting a 6240x4160 image, which suggests that the variables aren't making it to the other server. I tried double-escaping the '?' as well to get:

https://res.cloudinary.com/tgtbatphone/image/upload/unsplash/photo-1518821703881-9da5a9f42038%253Ffm=jpg%2526crop=entropy%2526fit=crop%2526h=1000%2526w=1000

But that's resulting in a 400 as well.

Any other ideas / tips?

Hello,

I changed the configuration on your account to enable single encoding of URLs

The following should now work-

http://res.cloudinary.com/tgtbatphone/image/upload/unsplash/photo-1518821703881-9da5a9f42038%3Ffm=jpg%26crop=entropy%26fit=crop%26h=1000%26w=1000

That being said, I see that you are using a preset that uses Imagga Crop and Scale and you are not subscribed to that addon. Please make sure to subscribe to the addon so the above will work- https://cloudinary.com/console/addons

Thanks,

Raya

Hi Raya. Thanks for the response.

Unfortunately, the two links don't appear to be accessing the same resource.

The URL you provided: http://res.cloudinary.com/tgtbatphone/image/upload/unsplash/photo-1518821703881-9da5a9f42038%3Ffm=jpg%26crop=entropy%26fit=crop%26h=1000%26w=1000 is consistently returning a HTTP with an error status code of 420.

This should be accessing the image from: http://images.unsplash.com/photo-1518821703881-9da5a9f42038?fm=jpg&crop=entropy&fit=crop&h=1000&w=1000, which returns an asset w/ HTTP 200.

Any ideas on how we can access the resource at the former URL w/ the auto-upload method?

Disregard. I'm guessing the HTTP error status was a result of us using imagga crop. Thanks for your help.
