Using % in Headers?

[typedwaves]

Hey everyone.

I’m trying to make a Roblox - Twitter Module but Twitter Tokens have % in them, when I send a request with the token in the header, I get this error:

I’ve tried removing the %'s and adding \'s before them (\%) but neither of these worked.

I have also tried UrlEncoding it and JsonEncoding it but these did not work either.

Are there any work arounds to this?

Header has unallowed character % in value

I would like to make a call to twitter to fetch the latest tweets. When I call the service, I want to use the Bearer token for authentication. However, as the bearer token contains a “%”, the call fails with the error: Header “Authorization” has unallowed character “%” in value “Bearer …oP4iw%3DoZ…” I have shortened the token as it is a secret Here is the code I have: local headers = {["Authorization"] = "Bearer ..d4llaoP4iw%3DoZBnejRZSXvO..."} -- Use pcall in case some…

The error was never solved. [char]

There is probably not a way to avoid this, even encoding it as \x25 doesn’t work. You will need to find a way to send the request without the % in the header or use a proxy server to send the request.

Does anyone have a resolution to this yet?

Have you ever found a solution or a way around this yet?

Unfortunately no.

If you need to use % or any restricted symbols you’ll need to make a proxy that can put that stuff in headers for you.

Dang, I figured that would be the case. Thanks for the response though!
