Aspose.HTML can't open a file with '%' characters in the filename

Aspose.HTML Product Family

Hello,
I’ve noticed when I try to open a document which contains a ‘%’ sign in the filename, Aspose.Html throws the FileNotFoundException. I suspect this isn’t the only special character that would cause a similar issue, but I haven’t checked any others.

Regards,
Greg

Hi @Adnan.Ahmad,
It’s just one line of code:
new Aspose.Html.HTMLDocument(@"C:\MyFile%3A.html");

I suspect it’s parsing %3A as ‘:’ using the HTML URL encoding.

@grzegorz.brose,

Thanks for informing this. Here source file means source HTML file which you are opening on your end using Aspose.

Yes, I’m opening a HTML file from disk.

@grzegorz.brose,

Please share that HTML file with us to further investigate this issue. I also like to inform that some issues are document specific so we need that file to help you out.

@Adnan.Ahmad,
The issue is about the filename, not about the contents. The contents of the file can be completely anything, even a 0 bytes file - it just happens for every HTML file which contains HTML URL encoded characters in the filename, e.g. “%3A.html”.
