Hi

As you see here, I have problem with facebook not accepting the image content type https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/sharing/?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.apotek.fo%2Fvi%25C3%25B0kvom-tarmey%25C3%25B0kenni-leyst-liv-og-trekur-magi

 

I Have tried urlEncoding the string, so that I got something like https%3A%2F%2Fwww.apotek.fo%2FFiles%2FImages%2FInnihaldsmyndir%2FBagir%20naka%C3%B0%2Ftrekur%20magi.jpg

 

But this is not recogniced as a url. Have tried replacing whitespace with %20, but that just gives 404.

 

Any suggestions?

 

/Hans

Hi Morten

 

that works perfectly, but how can I encode the url like this dynamically? UrlEncode does not give this result.

I'm not sure which UrlEncode you are using. Can you provide an example?

You can use methods like encodeURIComponent in js, encoding extensions for template tags or System.Net.WebUtility in C# code for encoding the file names.

Yes

I´m doing this

image=HttpUtility.UrlEncode(image);

it gives this result

https%3a%2f%2fwww.apotek.fo%2fFiles%2fImages%2fInnihaldsmyndir%2fBagir+naka%c3%b0%2ftrekur+magi.jpg

 

Problem is probably that the whitespace is being replaced with +
