Requesting HistoricalPricing.Summaries does not work for RICs containing "/" when using Eikon

Hi @martin.grunwald,

Thanks for the logs.

In short, I was unable to replicate the issue you found. To make sure we're on the same page, I created a brand new .Net 4.8 project. I'm testing with Refinitiv Workspace, however, I don't think the issue is related to the session but rather the failing of escaping the embedded slash (/).

For example, here is my .Net 4.8 code:

var response = Events.Definition().Universe("aUSCCORYE/A")
                                  .Count(10)
                                  .EventTypes(Events.EventType.quote, Events.EventType.trade)
                                  .GetData();

Before the request is sent into the backend, this is what my URL looks like in the logs:

http://localhost:9001/api/rdp/data/historical-pricing/v1/views/events/aUSCCORYE%2FA?count=10&eventTypes=quote%2Ctrade

In preparation for this URL, the actual code that is escaping the slash looks like this:

var result = System.Uri.EscapeDataString("aUSCCORYE/A");  // Returns: aUSCCORYE%2FA

Comparing our logs, we're both using the same version:

Me:

2023-10-26 10:50:14.8368|Info|Refinitiv.Data.Initializer|1|Library version: 1.0.0-beta5
2023-10-26 10:50:14.8368|Info|Refinitiv.Data.Initializer|1|.Net runtime: 4.0.30319.42000
2023-10-26 10:50:14.8368|Info|Refinitiv.Data.Initializer|1|.Net version: 4.8.4645.0

You:

2023-10-25T17:48:44InfoRefinitiv.Data.InitializerLibrary version: 1.0.0-beta5
2023-10-25T17:48:44InfoRefinitiv.Data.Initializer.Net runtime: 4.0.30319.42000
2023-10-25T17:48:44InfoRefinitiv.Data.Initializer.Net version: 4.8.9181.0

The only thing I can suggest you try is the above code segment that escapes the (/) just to make sure it responds as expected - you should be getting the slash properly expanded. Please confirm.

You do have a workaround and you should be able to do something like this:

var response = Events.Definition().Universe(System.Uri.EscapeDataString("aUSCCORYE/A"))
                                  .Count(10)
                                  .EventTypes(Events.EventType.quote, Events.EventType.trade)
                                  .GetData();

One this that is confusing to me is when you explicitly request for "aUSCCORYE%2FA", it properly expands within the logs! That is:

http://localhost:9001/api/rdp/data/historical-pricing/v1/views/interday-summaries/aUSCCORYE%252FA?interval=P1D&count=10&sessions=normal'

%2FA successfully expands to %252FA! Yet "/" didn't expand.

Hi @martin.grunwald,

Just to confirm, if you were to inject this line of code within your application, what returns:

var result = System.Uri.EscapeDataString("aUSCCORYE/A");
