Backslash Error

[robertjcolley]

I stumbled across an error which happens when the user enters in a '\' character. I would imagine that other URI special characters also can cause some issues in the same manner.

• NOTE: I am using a custom input component and have not tried with the default input.

Also included in this discussion should be sanitization of search_term in the forwardGeocoding.

The two solutions I see are:

1. (IMO the better option) sanitation of the search_term parameter and possibly relevant errors with invalid characters/input
2. It is up to the user to handle sanitation.

I don't understand why it doesn't work using the lib
