The URL is encoded like this: http://api.toodledo.com/2/tasks/add.php?f=xml;fields=folder,star,meta;key=mykey;tasks=[{%22folder%22 %3A%22myFolderId%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22my%20%22test%22%20task%22}] I realize that this API already uses the enclosed "" characters for its keyword 'title' as well as for the associated value in the parameter syntax, so how can I encode the nested " character in its title value?

Hi,

I have tried to sync a task having " character in its title, for example, 'my "test" task' and received the error "No title".

The URL is encoded like this:
http://api.toodledo.com/2/tasks/add.php?f=xml;fields=folder,star,meta;key=mykey;tasks=[{%22folder%22 %3A%22myFolderId%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22my%20%22test%22%20task%22}]

I realize that this API already uses the enclosed "" characters for its keyword 'title' as well as for the associated value in the parameter syntax, so how can I encode the nested " character in its title value?

Thanks
