[Bug] Corrupted links when I use import/export for URLs field

charlie_scott

Hi there,

When I try to import / export Russian Keywords/URLs I always get question marks instead of my Russian keywords!!.

Example :

When I try to import this link :

http://www.mysite.com/page.html#{ру́сский язы́к}

SER always display this :

http://www.mysite.com/page.html#{??´????? ???´?}

I tried to encode my URLs file with uft-8 but the problem was not fixed.

I hope this problem get patched soon. Thanks

Same problem in Crawl online >> Right click >> Export options.

Sven

can you provide that file you try to import? If it is utf-8 encoded...it should work.

charlie_scott

Yep , it's working only if I import the utf-8 file itself. But It's not working though if I import/export from/to clipboard.

Also in Crawl online >> Right click >> Export options. The exported file has the same problem cause it's not encoded in utf-8. Try to crawl a few links from any Russian site then export it to a file. (url#keyword format)

Sven

the export is fixed now...the import from clipboard is hard to fix as i don't know what format it is in clipboard

charlie_scott

Thanks! , Man that was fast as usual. Can't wait for the next release with this patch on board. This problem was killing the great crawling feature for me.

I have the same problem in GSA SEO Indexer. When I import my Russian URLs all of them are corrupted! : (

The file is already UTF-8 though. How can I import the Russian chars in there ?

Sven

SEO Indexer is just accepting plain URLs. Encode them with %XY as the browser would also send them.

@Sven

How can I encode the urls in this format ? I googled it but I have no clue how to do it!
