x-callback-rul /action/link?description param does not seem to support HTML

[joshgoebel]

Example:

tumblr://x-callback-url/link?title=Your%20old%20laptop%27s%20battery%20will%20light%20homes%20in%20developing%20countries&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.engadget.com%2F2014%2F12%2F09%2Fibm-urjar-battery%2F&description=%21%28http%3A%2F%2Fo.aolcdn.com%2Fhss%2Fstorage%2Fmidas%2F4bdd5bcbafad648d96057bd6ba4968aa%2F201215004%2Flight-bulb-street-vendor-india-daniel-berehulak-getty.jpg%29%0A%0A%3Cimg%20src%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fo.aolcdn.com%2Fhss%2Fstorage%2Fmidas%2F4bdd5bcbafad648d96057bd6ba4968aa%2F201215004%2Flight-bulb-street-vendor-india-daniel-berehulak-getty.jpg%27%3E%0A%0A%3E%20Don%27t%20be%20too%20quick%20to%20toss%20out%20the%20battery%20from%20that%20ancient%20laptop%20--%20it%20might%20just%20be%20the%20key%20to%20powering%20homes%20in%20developing%20countries%2C%20and%20helping%20the%20environment%20in%20the%20process.%20IBM%20researchers%20have%20revealed%20UrJar%2C%20a%20device%20that%20turns%20old%20lithium-ion%20battery%20packs%20into%20rechargeable%20energy%20sources%20for%20low-power%20devices%20like%20LED%20light%20bulbs%2C%20fans%20and%20cellphones.%0A%0AWhat%20a%20great%20idea.%20Places%20that%20accept%20batteries%20for%20recycling%20or%20proper%20disposal%20need%20to%20get%20clued%20into%20this.%0A%0A%20

The description field will be completely empty when Tumblr launches.

This works just fine for me 😕

[joshgoebel]

Does it perhaps matter that my default compost method is markdown?

[joshgoebel]

How are you testing? I supposed it could be some weird editorial bug. I just pasted the RAW url into a one step workflow now and still seeing the exact same issue.

Does this help at all?

[joshgoebel]

I guess honestly that isn't the full url. editorial is still adding success and cancel callback urls to it, etc. but I wouldn't know how to get you a better example. I assume you could test it from Editorial and with your enhanced visibility to debug info find out quickly which side of the line the fault is on?

[irace]

I've never used Editorial. I just pasted the URL into Safari and it worked as expected.

[joshgoebel]

I see that. So the problem is either Editorial or Tubmlr getting choked on the extra xcallbacks parame that are being added that I don't have visibility to. Any way you could check that?

I'm not sure how to get a better URL myself.

[joshgoebel]

Ok. Trick it to http then edit:

tumblr://x-callback-url/link?x-success=editorial%3A%2F%2Fworkflow-callback&x-cancel=editorial%3A%2F%2F&x-error=editorial%3A%2F%2Fworkflow-callback-error&x-source=Editorial&title=Your%20old%20laptop%27s%20battery%20will%20light%20homes%20in%20developing%20countries&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.engadget.com%2F2014%2F12%2F09%2Fibm-urjar-battery%2F

Broken from safari and editorial.

[joshgoebel]

And the descriotion isnt even there. Wtf.

[irace]

So it's an Editorial bug, it seems?

[joshgoebel]

Seems so. If there is a = in the body (it even appears encoded correctly) then when Editorial does whatever it does to add its own xcallback params it discards the description param completely. Like its reparsing the whole url and then rejecting params for some reason.
