How to import data using URL that consists special characters

Issue:

Not able to import data using URL that contains special characters (for eg: http://my.domain.com:8080/~noname/examplefile.json) as they are not recognized by the application.

Error Message: 

The parameter URL does not match the accepted input pattern 


Solution:

Replace the symbol with its encoded value (as shown in the table).          

SymbolEncoded Value
^%5E
~%7E


Also, to find encoded value for other symbols, use https://www.url-encode-decode.com/.
