HTML conversion of file named with url-encoded characters breaks url to embedded images

Dear all,

I encounter an issue with files named like a%20file%20with%20url%20entities.docx. They shouldn’t be named this way, but we assume users will submit them.

If the document contains one embedded (JPEG) image, the HTML conversion produces

  • a%20file%20with%20url%20entities.htm
  • a%20file%20with%20url%20entities.001.jpeg

Everything is fine at this step. However, inside the HTML file, the url pointing the image won’t be protected:

<!-- cleaned HTML code -->
<p>
  <img src="a%20file%20with%20url%20entities.001.jpeg"/>
</p>

Microsoft Words protects the URL:

<!-- cleaned HTML code -->
<p>
  <img src="a%2520file%2520with%2520url%2520entities_fichiers/image002.jpg"/>
</p>

I’ve also attached a ZIP of the sample document and the conversions performed both by Aspose.Words and Microsoft.Word. Version used is Aspose 18.10.

Best regards,
Monir
