URI format error

[wmeyer]

I have an epub I edited with Sigil 2.0.2 on Windows. I have uploaded the epub to kobo.com, to check for any issues. It complains of a bad URI:
"[https://www.freepik.com/free-vector/hand-drawn-simple-flower-outline_25182979.htm#query=line%20art%20lily&posit ion=1&from_view=search&track=ais&uuid=0f70a459-528c-4014-955a-61c1d392eed4#position=1&query=line%20art%20lily]" is not a valid URI. in OEBPS/Text/index_split_000.html, line 32

This is a credit for use of some line art, and the credit is required by the publisher. The actual HTML in my file is this:
<p>
<a href="https://www.freepik.com/free-vector/hand-drawn-simple-flower-outline_25182979.htm#query=line%20art%20lily&amp;p osition=1&amp;from_view=search&amp;track=ais&amp;u uid=0f70a459-528c-4014-955a-61c1d392eed4#position=1&amp;query=line%20art%20lil y">Lily image from Freepik</a>
</p>

I uploaded the epub to Amazon to send to my Kindle, and the link is presented correctly, and does, in fact, open a browser to the correct page.

Would appreciate any assistance!

Uri query's are not started by a hash # and instead use ?

And I have never seen a proper url with multiple query strings and especially one that is duplicated twice.

Try to write the uri using ? for query and remove the duplication of the query.

Here is a more properly formatted uri:

You can probably simplify this further.

For what it's worth, I tried the following and it worked:

https://www.freepik.com/free-vector/...e_25182979.htm

Since this is a MobileRead link, the full URL is seen when you hover over the link.

That url worked for me too. Nicely done!

Thanks, all, for the help! The link came from FreePik, and messy as it was, when put into a browser, it worked. The much simpler link from DNSB has solved the problem here, and I now have no resource complaints from Kobo.
