Here is the results of two calls. I got the real ULRs from the nginx logs to spot the differences.

The following one has been executed from the command line using wget and protecting all the URL using "".

/wps/WebProcessingService?request=Execute&service=WPS&Version=1.0.0&gcube-token=254c2e2d-7f48-47aa-9fc1-5e6453a41f78-843339462&lang=en-US&Identifier=org.gcube.dataanalysis.wps.statisticalmanager.synchserver.mappedclasses.transducerers.K_STATISTICS&DataInputs=inputDataTable=http://data.d4science.org/Y0N6SnB2bGkvTHBjZk9qTytQTndqa2JNTVdUWDlxR1FHbWJQNStIS0N6Yz0;selectedRaters=r1%7Cr3;categoriesNames=c1%7Cc2%7Cc3%7Cc4

The following one has been executed from the browser (Chrome, Firefox and Safari. Each one is the latest stable release, each one has the same behaviour:

/wps/WebProcessingService?request=Execute&service=WPS&Version=1.0.0&gcube-token=254c2e2d-7f48-47aa-9fc1-5e6453a41f78-843339462&lang=en-US&Identifier=org.gcube.dataanalysis.wps.statisticalmanager.synchserver.mappedclasses.transducerers.K_STATISTICS&DataInputs=inputDataTable=http://data.d4science.org/Y0N6SnB2bGkvTHBjZk9qTytQTndqa2JNTVdUWDlxR1FHbWJQNStIS0N6Yz0;selectedRaters=r1|r3;categoriesNames=c1|c2|c3|c4

The former produces a result, the latter is invalid because it's wrong. The first URL works also when run from the browser. Try http://dataminer0-proto.d4science.org/wps/WebProcessingService?request=Execute&service=WPS&Version=1.0.0&gcube-token=254c2e2d-7f48-47aa-9fc1-5e6453a41f78-843339462&lang=en-US&Identifier=org.gcube.dataanalysis.wps.statisticalmanager.synchserver.mappedclasses.transducerers.K_STATISTICS&DataInputs=inputDataTable=http://data.d4science.org/Y0N6SnB2bGkvTHBjZk9qTytQTndqa2JNTVdUWDlxR1FHbWJQNStIS0N6Yz0;selectedRaters=r1%7Cr3;categoriesNames=c1%7Cc2%7Cc3%7Cc4

OK you're right the URL needs to be URL-encoded. What is strange to me is that the browser should already encode the URL parameters by itself, but it seems this does not happen with those "inner" parameters. The URL produced by the DataMiner should indeed encode them perhaps.

I am closing this ticket since I did not get any answer to my request for comment.
