Add quotes by default to Request URL CRON job

cristianuibar

Just encountered a problem with the CRON URL trigger. I have a URL with a security key parameter and an ID, and for that reason in standard format it will fail. The fix is simple, just add the URL in quotes. Yet, right now it requires me to add the URL normally and then edit the CRON job to add the quotes manually. This should be automatically.

The final command should be:
wget -o /dev/null -O /dev/null "<URL>"

right now it doesn't contain the quotes and will fail if you add parameters to your URL.

I use the cronjobs thing and it works without the quotations just fine? - i actually double checked when i saw this and all is working fine.

slimx It largely depends on the URL you are using. These examples will break without the double quotes:

http://example.com/some path with spaces/file.txt
http://example.com/page#section
http://example.com/file?param1=value1&param2=value2
http://example.com/run_cron?key=LKFS!_#FW4DSD+!4

ss88us Exactly. Thank you for the examples. Using parameters in the URL will break the CURL request without the quotes.
