Your URI string contains invalid characters. The first query yields a
result, the second doesn’t:
xs:anyURI("[")
xs:anyURI("%5b")
There are various ways to get this cleaned up. For example, you can use
fn:encode-for-uri [1]. Or have a look at the web:create-url convenience
function of BaseX:
web:create-url(
'HTtpS://reGexr.com/more/less/path/foo.php',
map { 'q': 'bar', 'same[12]': 'xxx' }
)
