Refferer Url macros didnt encode the url on third party vast

[Bao Truong]

Hi Guys,

Anyone know why i inserted Refferer Url macros on our third-party vast tag, but when we setup it on GAM, and run via IMA SDK, the url responded on our third-party was not encoded.

This is our third-pary vast tag after added Refferer url macro: https://delivery.adnetwork.vn/247/xmlvideoad/zid_1459930718/wid_1288933464/type_inline/cb_232131/w_640/h_360/purl_%%REFERRER_URL_ESC%%

This is the GAM tag config on player: https://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/live/ads?iu=/27973503/ngoisao.net.2018/Video/Video.instream&description_url=http%3A%2F%2Fngoisao.net&env=vp&impl=s&correlator=&tfcd=0&npa=0&gdfp_req=1&output=vast&sz=640x360&unviewed_position_start=1&cust_params=ap%3D0%26st%3D0%26bs%3D0%26pt%3D0%26fblg%3D0%26aex%3D0%26brs%3D

And this is the url we received:

And yes, i was tried with all macros below, but got same result:

Macro	Escaping
%%REFERRER_URL_UNESC%%	Unescaped
%%REFERRER_URL_ESC%%	Single-escaped
%%REFERRER_URL_ESC_ESC%%	Double-escaped

Hi Bao,

Thank you for reaching out to us and for sharing this information.

Just for clarity and if my understanding is correct: is the expected result of the macro URL when parsed most likely the same as below?

From:

"https://video.ngoisao.net/hau-truong/ho-ngoc-ha-mo-tiec-tren-du-thuyen-5-sao-4018283.html"

To:

"https%3A%2F%2Fvideo.ngoisao.net%2Fhau-truong%2Fho-ngoc-ha-mo-tiec-tren-du-thuyen-5-sao-4018283.html"



If this is the case, then I'm afraid this is beyond the support of this forum, as I could only answer inquiries pertaining to the IMA SDK implementation.

My recommendation would be for you to contact the Google Ad Manager Help Center for further assistance, as they are more capable of giving support for any macro related concerns.

Let me know if you have questions or clarifications.
