I've noticed a strange bug in my application, which has an AJAX callback for saving form (textarea) content into a blob in the database. The problem is that while everything else saves fine, any '+' characters disappear.
I've added an alert to the AJAX save routine so I can see that, before the save, the '+' is still in the string, and then the meat of the callback is this: http_request.open('post', xmlUrl, true); http_request.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www- form-urlencoded"); http_request.send('file_name=' + escape(file_name) + '&file_content=' + escape(ta_content)); the "ta_content" variable is the TextArea content that I just verified with the javascript alert. This posts against a save routine which does the following: class Save(webapp.RequestHandler): def post(self): #fn = self.request.get('file_name') fc = self.request.get('file_content') newfile = db.GqlQuery('SELECT * FROM Posts WHERE [yadda yadda]).get () if newfile is not None: newfile.content = db.Blob(str(fc)) else: newfile = Posts(content = db.Blob(str(fc)), content_type = ct) newfile.put() self.response.out.write('<response>ok</response>') And the DB entity is as follows: class Posts(db.Model): content = db.BlobProperty() created = db.DateTimeProperty(auto_now_add=True) #content2 = db.StringProperty() So my question is, where are my '+' signs disappearing and how can I stop this? I'm encoding my data on the post. I'm converting to a string before storing to a blob on the AppEngine side. I even temporarily added a string to the entity so that I could actually see the data as it's stored in the datastore and guess what? I can see my <,>,&,'," and everything else. Just no +. Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong here, or does AppEngine just hate me, plus signs or both? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
