Bug in Aspose.words when opening a HTML file

[ejt66]

I am using Aspose words to load and print html files and have encountered a potential parsing bug.

If I load the html file using word, it works fine, but if I tried to load it using Aspose.Words I get the following error:

Aspose.Words.FileCorruptedException: The document appears to be corrupted and cannot be loaded.

I have narrowed down the html to this:

Specifically the query string argument on this url: http://something.com/?queryVariable|2.0|107|182639|1|1|blah

It’s the pipes in the query string that cause the issue, Although it’s a strange query string, its valid, I have successfully parsed it.

The reason I think this is a bug is that I can open the html file successfully in MS Word but not using Aspose.

Thanks

Simply loading the document in apose.Words cause it to throw, here is the code I used to load it:

        var loadOptions = new HtmlLoadOptions()
        {
            LoadFormat = LoadFormat.Html
        };
        var document = new Document(file, loadOptions);
