&regStamp in verification link is replaced by ®Stamp in hotmail

XMLWordPrintable

      The &reg in the verification link sent by email is misunderstood at least by hotmail to be the ® html entity. This results in unusable verification links when sent to hotmail accounts.

      Original verification link

      As it's changed by hotmail:

      http://www.test.ch/.magnolia/pages/validation?userId=aac0107c-94e8-426c-a0d9-2c8b9fb77eea®Stamp=1368456964532

      I'm currently using an easy workaround:

      if (userId.indexOf("=") > -1) {
	log.info("UserId contains = sign, splitting parameters: {}", userId);
	String splitString = userId;
	userId = splitString.substring(0, 36);
	regStamp = splitString.substring(splitString.indexOf("=") + 1, splitString.length());
}
