File with wrong filename created

[andreaskurmann]

First, thank you very much for den excellent tool. I have one problem: I have written the following command:
"REMOTE_URL&key=MYKEY&tree=tree1&file=<MYFILE.ged&time_stamp=postfix" (the parameters like MYFILE have to be replaced by real values).

When I use it with a browser everything works fine und a file named "MYFILE_DATE_TIME.ged" is created. But if I use it in bash shell script or directly in the shell with wget "REMOTE_URL&key=MYKEY&tree=tree1&file=<MYFILE.ged&time_stamp=postfix" a file is created but has the file name of the above command, i.e.: "index.php@route=%2FExtendedImportExport&key=MYKEY&tree=tree1&file=<MYFILE.ged&time_stamp=postfix" .
That occurs with wget in Linux Mint or Windows 11.

On first sight, this sounds like an issue with URL Encoding.

Can you try again with single quotation marks ('xxx')? That usually keeps the URL as given. With double quotation marks ("xxx"), some systems change special charakters.

Thanks for the prompt answer. I have tried single quotation marks both in Linux Mint and Windows Command Shell. With Linux there is the same result, with Windows single quotation marks do not work.
I have now implemented a workaorund by just simply ad a mv command to the bash script: "mv index.php@route=%2FExtendedImportExport&key=MYKEY&tree=tree1&file=<MYFILE.ged&time_stamp=postfix MYFILE_$(date +%F).ged
IMPORTANT: The file with the wrong file name contains all GED-Data from the Btrees server, i.e. the export works just the file name is incorrect.
