Malformed URL Error
This Data Element Type evaluates the URL of the page and detects the most common malformations that might otherwise go unnoticed. Automatic detection of these malformations can help tremendously in tightening up external (and internal) campaign tracking.
All of the following conditions are considered malformations and will be reported
Malformed URL : & before ?
Multiple Question Marks in Query String
Query String Key missing equal sign
Query String Key missing Value
Query String Value missing Key
Query String has multiple running equal signs
Query String Key repeated
Query String has multiple running &'s
The data element type offers four different return types, selectable at configuration via a dropdown.
Javascript Array of Errors
Pipe Delimited List of Errors
First Error Only
True / False string
An example of each return type is demonstrated in the image below on a page with a terribly malformed URL.
