[CRITICAL] If custom authority URL is URL encoded, GSA screws it up when posting

Gintas

I have this URL in my authority links list:
https://lt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krūtis
in GSA:


This is the one that gets posted:
https://lt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krūtis (which is 404)


But it should have posted this URL: https://lt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krūtis

please stop posting topics with "[critical] or whatsowever as tag, If you think it's a bug ok...we can investigate. If it's critical or not, let me decide.

Anyway, send me the project backup please as when it's url encoded, it should be fine.

Gintas

sure, lol. Will send that backup to your pm.

Sven

your backup didn't have the authority urls added!?

Gintas

It had to have them. I'm attaching that authority URLs list this way then:https://pastebin.com/JyC0c77a

Sven

and you clicked EDIT and added it that way? Well that should not give you any link here at all as the format is incorrect. See here: http://docu.gsa-online.de/search_engine_ranker/advanced_setup#generic_urls

Gintas

No, these are own "authority URLs", I added them here:

I ticked Own URLs, dialog popped up and I inserted them here. They get posted fine if URL is simple, but if it's something like the one I mentioned in first post, I noticed it gets posted scrambled. Maybe encoding problem or something

Sven

it would have really helped to see the original backup with verified urls to review it...if it's like this, i cant do much.

Gintas

@Sven I sent to PM a duplicate again, it's a complete duplicate with submitted & verified urls removed, anchors replaced to test and articles removed. I saw this bug on a few serengines websites, one of them was definitely soup.io

Gintas

I pm'd one url to you that was created by SER and has this broken URL

Gintas

did you manage to get SER to post such an invalid authority url?

Sven

sorry, but I need to sleep as well...Im back now in office (9am) and will debug it.
