API method API.getBulkRequest converts whitespace to HTML entities

[tsteur]

Hi,

I'm displaying some properties from Live.getLastVisitDetails in Mobile App. When requesting this method via BulkRequests, it converts some content to HTML entities.

timeSpentPretty: "2 min 8s"

For instance visitDurationPretty and timeSpentPretty . I cannot reproduce this behavior when executing plain Live.getLastVisitDetails action (no BulkRequest).

In Mobile App I cannot resolve HTML entities. Can we either not convert anything or convert them to Unicode (\u0000)?

Plain request (replace token_auth to reproduce):
http://demo.piwik.org/?module=API&method=Live.getLastVisitsDetails&idSite=1&period=day&date=today&format=JSON&token_auth=XXXXXXX

With BulkRequest (replace token_auth to reproduce):
http://demo.piwik.org/index.php?urls%5B0%5D=method%3dLive.getCounters%26lastMinutes%3d30%26format%3dJSON%26idSite%3d1%26&urls%5B1%5D=method%3dLive.getCounters%26lastMinutes%3d1440%26format%3dJSON%26idSite%3d1%26&urls%5B2%5D=method%3dLive.getLastVisitsDetails%26filter_limit%3d20%26period%3dday%26date%3dtoday%26format%3dJSON%26idSite%3d1%26&module=API&date=today&token_auth=XXXXXXXXXX&period=day&format=json&method=API.getBulkRequest&language=en&

I know this is not an acceptable answer :p but what about such function? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5796718/html-entity-decode/9609450#9609450

Yes, not acceptable :) I do not have a DOM in native mobile app ;) And we should avoid as much computation on mobile as possible ;)

In 229e04c: refs #3970 this should fix html entities are returned in json output

In 9206f7d: refs #3970 this should fix some bulk requests are not correct rendered because there is an array of dataTables

In 68b8ccb: refs #3970 probably a better fix for html entities in json output, fixes bulkRequest is buggy with PHP and other renderers
