Troubleshooting
Problem
When using paramertized URLs getting the error HTML report output is not well formed
Cause
The URL is not properly encoded
Resolving The Problem
This error is most likely caused by the URL not encoded properly. For example this URL will cause the error:
http://servername:9300/bi/v1/disp?b_action=dashboard&pathinfo=/pagelet&path=storeID(%22storeid%22)&frag-header=false
Where this properly encoded URL will succeed:
http://servername:9300/bi/v1/disp?b_action%3Ddashboard%26pathinfo%3D%2Fpagelet%26path%3DstoreID(%2522storeid%2522)%26frag-header%3Dfalse
Make sure the URL is encoded after this portion of the link:
http://servername:9300/bi/v1/disp?b_action
