Link modified upon export

[charissepaula]

I am having a linking problem. XWD modifies the link upon export.

Linking to an external site - Web Properties >> Link >> Link to web a address:
h ttp://somewebsite.com/directory/index.htm?identifier=99999&indentifier2=AAAAA

(space inserted in h ttp so the forum doesnt convert it to a link)

The htm export has changed the & to & As the link is to a site that is parsing the identifiers there can be no modification to the link.

I have tested with (correct address automatically checked and unchecked) both produce the same results

I see what you mean.
I dont know why it is doing that.
I think this is a problem for covoxer
You could always edit the html code and remove the amp.

The & is automatically decoded to '&' by the browser before the link is executed. So the site that parses this address receives exactly what you have entered into the URL field in WD. Using '&' character in the HMTL code is prohibited by W3C and fails validation.

The problem I have with that is when sending a JSON request it is required as "URL-encoded query as a parameter to the search method" and not an HTML encoded

It is not sent as HTML encoded because browser decodes it before sending. Look what you see in the browsers status line when you hover over your link. Do you see HTML encoded text? This is exactly what is sent by the browser.
