I'm italian and I have to use some words with accent (à,è,ì ecc..).
I've done substitution with html entities

à = à
è = & egrave ;
é = & eacute ;
ì = & igrave ;
€ = & euro ;

but system responds with:

"error_status":403,"error_string":"unwanted input
'eacute*_pi*_accessibile_e_presenta_tutti_i_dettagli_immediatamente_**LI***UL***span***td***tr***table**br**br**div_style'","reference":"http:
\/\/xxxxxxx.pbworks.com\/api_v2\/#PutPage"}

Only   doesn't work.

What I miss?

Thanks,
Carmelo

Carmelo,
It sounds like you are trying to supply the html input by including it
in the URL?

Could you instead make a POST request with the html input in the body,
that would make it easier to properly escape these html entities.

How would you go about doing a POST?
