Extra characters are getting added in SMP endpoint url

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

I created an application in SMP admin cockpit. When I ping the end point url , It says 'Backend system cannot be reached'. In the popup, It shows some extra characters that are getting added to the original URL. Please refer the attached image. My urlf format is http://company.com/service_name.html

Could you please help in this regard?

Thanks

Anjani

This is something new has been introduced since server SP08 (really no idea what exactly they wanted to try)

eg. if backend url is like below, if PING fails, you will see some extra characters

http://mycompany.com

http://mycompany.com

where :  #x3a;

and    /  &#2f;

<<at this moment i would say its a normal behavior of SP08, dont worry>>

Try with HTTP url http://odata.org , you will get a success message.

Hi Anjani,

You cannot add .html as you end point url. Please refer to this of developing app using REST API. You will get an understanding of creating end point.
