We have a requirement where we are encrypting Salesforce ID value using Crypto class method. Crypto.encryptWithManagedIV('AES128', key, data);

But it generates a key which contains + sign and when we read this value in apex we get space for that + sign.

We tried EncodingUtil.urlDecode and EncodingUtil.urlEncode. In that case + sign is getting converted into %2B and again we get space for that in the apex.

For Ex - Encoded value in URL: 

gAbH0FIEK5l2m8wVKTV+p4R5QLay2D9jZ2BgsyQ3mJ1/9puMMIne6y5P6i3ZRidl

Encoded value in Apex:

gAbH0FIEK5l2m8wVKTV p4R5QLay2D9jZ2BgsyQ3mJ1/9puMMIne6y5P6i3ZRidl

Can someone please suggest how to handle the situation?

We can handle spaces by replacing it with + sign. But I am not sure if it will throw an error for any specific characters/case.

    We'll need to see some code. You're doing something wrong. Tushar's answer is correct, and I tested and verified that %2b does indeed convert back to +. You've managed to somehow do it wrong (probably by not escaping the +, despite thinking you had).

Convert the string in URL encode

EncodingUtil.urlEncode('gAbH0FIEK5l2m8wVKTV+p4R5QLay2D9jZ2BgsyQ3mJ1/9puMMIne6y5P6i3ZRidl','UTF-8');

Which will replace it to 

gAbH0FIEK5l2m8wVKTV%2Bp4R5QLay2D9jZ2BgsyQ3mJ1%2F9puMMIne6y5P6i3ZRidl

Now in class simple get it from apex using apexpages.currentpage().getparameters().get('parameter Name'); and use it you will get expected output.

  • Tahnks for your reply. But when we decode the value again using EncodingUtil.urlDecode and get the value through apexpages.currentpage().getparameters().get('parameter Name'); It returns space instead of + sign.

    Hey Tushar! Thanks for your quick reply. It worked for me also. I was getting the error because I was decoding it. If we get parameters directly then it gives the correct value. Thank you so much!!!!!!!
