javascript escape(); and CI url's

[eluser]Fabdrol[/eluser]
Hi guys,

I'm busy with a search engine, based on Yahoo!BOSS, but I've got a little trouble submitting javascript-escaped strings to my CI controller.

The escape code:

Code:

var query_str = escape(query);
    // example output: i % 27 m % 20 here (un-escaped: i'm alive)
    // without the spaces of-course, thats for displaying purposes

The error msg:

Code:

An Error Was Encountered
    The URI you submitted has disallowed characters.

What can I do to allow these characters? I suppose the url is valid, since that's where the escape function is for! (isn't it?)

thanks,
Fabian

You might want to see just what URI is being called. Personally I'd use the LiveHTTP Headers plugin for firefox, just cause its the easy way out

I did, and the url is as follows: http://localhost/Klanten/Halal/public_ht...arch/web/i % 27 m % 20 fabdrol
(I added some spaces to make it possible to display here, imagine them gone!)

I think CI doesn't accept the % sign, what to do?

Thanks
