Cannot redirect to URLs containing an '='

Description

« Hide

Currently, if a URL contains an '=' character, the redirect does not know where to redirect to. This is due to the macro renderer interpreting the fact that there is an '=' as meaning it is a named parameter.

The workaround is to provide an alternate way of specifying the URL to redirect to. Eg:

{redirect:location=http://www.foo.com/bar?xxx=yyy}

Because there is already an '=' associated with a known URL, the rest of the URL should make it through.

The 'location' parameter has been added. The old method will still work, but you will need to use 'location' for any URLs including an '='.
