Slashes in URL

As suggested by Rod (in the Gallery forum) I am experimenting with getting acquainted with Publisher for the first time. Even as an experienced CE user I had delayed this as it was far from clear to me what Publisher actually does, compared with the other modules.  Only by experimenting am I learning the answer to that question.

However, curious as I am to see if anything strange showed up studying the log in ttg-be/publisher, I came across this strange html in the text of the URL of an image:

quote (extract)
[09-Dec-2014 07:00:18] TRACE: returning: {"status":"success","asset":{"id":"50183_95552","album_id":"50183","filename":"2014_01_11--08_14_58-m4192160.jpg","title":"2014_01_11--08_14_58-m4192160.jpg","url":"http:\/\/martinsharrott.com\/galleries\/test-album-2014-01-11-01-v1\/","capture_time":"2014-01-11 08:14:57","sequence":"0","latitude":"","longitude":"","is_complete":"yes","created":"2014-12-09 07:00:12","modified":"2014-12-09 07:00:15"},"photoId":"50183_95552"}
unquote

Where could this repeated backslash - slash come from? Have I done something wrong? Does it matter? The images pages generated online seem to work normally.

Re: Slashes in URL

Hi Martin, the backslash you are seeing is called an escape character.  It is used behind-the-scened to correctly pass a forward slash between the Lightroom Publisher and the publisher code on your server.  There's nothing amiss here.

Thank goodness it's nothing I had done. Thanks, Ben.
