Hi David,

Sorry if I'm stating the obvious but have you tried escaping the
troublesome path components? E.g.

URI.parse("http://localhost/icinga-web/web/api/service/" +
CGI.escape("filter[AND(SERVICE_NAME|=|In%20service;AND(SERVICE_CURRENT_STATE|!=|0))]")
+ "/countColumn=SERVICE_ID/authkey=xxxxx/json")

(CGI.escape because URI.escape doesn't encode the square brackets).
Don't know if Icinga will decode that of course.

Regards,
Sean

P.S. What were they smoking when they devised that scheme? I'd like some.
