Failed to decode XOR-URL: UnkownBase

So, my first time trying deliberately to create a version 1 with nrs add ?v=1 led to an odd confusion about what was occurring.

It looked successful as NRS Map updated (version 1):

Having safe://hello33 working I was expecting safe://hello33?v=0 should still be available but instead in the mobile browser, it gives
For safe://hello33?v=0 it gives “Error Page not found No such public name exists”.


Oddly irritating, because it doesn’t help be sure what is occurring, I note safe://hello33?v=0 becomes safe://hello33/?v=0
which seems an odd addition of the forward slash given the way nrs talks of ?v= without that.
Would prefer the translation is not adding that / as surely url protocol is that ? is a delimiter and the petty correcting of users input seems unneeded.

The key part below being that where NRS safe://hello33 did exist, then in the mobile browser at least it appears to not be there, throwing this error on CLI:

$ safe dog safe://hello33
[2020-04-17T15:25:56Z ERROR safe] safe-cli error: [Error] InvalidXorUrl - Failed to decode XOR-URL: UnkownBase

What is that error suggesting?

At the least, I was expecting that safe://hello33?v=0 should still be available but instead in the mobile browser, it gives
For safe://hello33?v=0 it gives “Error Page not found No such public name exists”.
For safe://hello33?v=1 it gives “Error Page not found No such data exists”.

As if it’s trying to read [hello33?v=0] as PublicName…

In the desktop browser, it’s different, with safe://hello33?v=0 displaying the html only without the css… which surely is wrong but is something at odds with the mobile browser giving an error. For safe://hello33?v=1 desktop browser displays nothing - no error. Would have expected both browsers to display the html+css as was and in full.

Created with this and the difference between uploads is just me tweaking css file and html to see it better flex for the mobile.

Just to note that this error UnknownBase seems unrelated to NRS?v=1

Doing similar upload just now I’m getting

It seems to be that you provided an invalid link with safe://safe://, and there seems to be a bug in the validator of the link url when the nrs is being created, we may need to enhance the error to show the url we couldn’t resolve when trying to fetch the content

Note also needs a catch for where no protocol has been suggested.

So, this looks like it worked

+  dataprivacy  hnyynysi3na6cnaqesi35psmoag4s7hzckzet5w1u1dubajosispudich6bnc?v=0 

but then gets error
