Cannot Pass URL with %20 in custom vision API

Question

I have deployed a custom vision model and it works when passing a request to an endpoint:
https://southeastasia.api.cognitive.microsoft.com/customvision/v3.1/Prediction/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/detect/iterations/project-name/url
the result is fine and I get a response as expected.

However, if the url has a space in it denoted by a "%20" example: https://ozcorp.sharepoint.com/sites/Teams/testimage%202.jpg
I get the following response:
{
"code": "BadRequestImageUrl",
"message": "Invalid url: https://ozcorp.sharepoint.com/sites/Teams/testimage 2.jpg"
}

it seems to me that the problem is with custom vision not being able to parse this url.
i have also tried passing https://ozcorp.sharepoint.com/sites/Teams/testimage 2.jpg for the image url but it fails too.

the spaces are part of the url and cannot be removed, how can i resolve this?

Answer 1

Hi, try renaming the file (remove space) or apply the following encoding testimage+2.jpg.

Answer 2

Hi, afraid I cannot do that.
Also, I think I misconstructed the problem. I could be facing authentication issues when trying to link the custom vision endpoint to a file saved using forms.
