            Bug ID: 389581
           Summary: "Custom" maps not working if "?" character is within
                    URL Path
           Product: marble
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: marble-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: shane.hill at dsto.defence.gov.au
  Target Milestone: ---

I was trying to create my own map server for marble and could not get it
working. I tried the Google maps at https://github.com/freayd/marble-maps/ and
had the same issue. The Google Maps has a URL definition of:

<downloadUrl protocol="http" host="mt1.google.com"
path="/vt?lyrs=m&x={x}&y={y}&z={zoomLevel}" />

I placed some print statements within ServerLayout.cpp at function
CustomServerLayout::downloadUrl() and the above definition returns an example
of:

http://mt3.google.com/vt%3Flyrs=m&x=1&y=5&z=3

It seems that the "?" character has been replaced with "%3F" (a correct
conversion, but using this link does not work. Replacing the "%3F" with the "?"
character seems to fix the problem. I added the code:


urlStr.replace( "%3F", "?");

So... should the substitution of "?" to "%3F"be done at this level in the code?
Should another character be used within the <downloadUrl> XML syntax? Any
thoughts? Thanks.
