Is there a link anywhere which shows how clover converts reserved characters and uses that in the HTML string to connect to remote files?
The dialog box is converting the following characters - ?, % and ! - from my password that goes into the HTML path used by the universal data reader. I want to make sure it's correct and will get converted back on the server side security on the box I'm reading the remote file from (in other words passes the correct password used to access the file system and file).
It's doing the following conversions:
1) ? to %3F
2) % to %25
3) ! to %21
Any idea if that's right and if it will convert back to the original when passing the credentials to the server to access the file? This may not be the issue as I can't pull up the file using explorer on the Clover ETL server either, but wanted to rule out the conversions while I'm checking into that.
thanks in advance for any insights.

Hi pintail,
CloverETL follows URI conventions for encoding. So reserved characters are encoded - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-en ... characters for details. This encoding should be handled by standard services transparently.
I hope this helps.
