yourls shortner with multiple ampersands

Question

I'm using a proxy to shorten url using Yourls, the proxy is calling jquery ajax method (GET) the url parameter of yourls-api.php passed is

http://localhost/webapp/default.aspx?x=499833&y=244716&resolution=1&layer=image&cc=uk

but the Yourls API is ignoring query string from second ampersand i.e the shortened url is redirecting with

http://localhost/webapp/default.aspx?x=499833

the longurl is encoded before passing it proxy.

Answer 1

Instead of encoding complete query string, encoding only the value of url parameter fixed the problem.
