Enabling the inclusion of a URL containing an _ underscore in the Webpage module

User Story

Hello all,

When embedding a webpage in a Xibo layout, it is unfortunately not possible to embed a URL that contains an _ underscore. Xibo gives the error message “Please enter a link”. It is also not possible to replace the underscore with %5F using ASCII Encoding Reference. Here the same error is displayed.

Here is an example URL https://test_123.test.com
or https://test%5F123.test.com

Is it possible to enable an underscore using one of the two options in an upcoming version of Xibo, so that a corresponding URL can be included? Or is there another way to include a URL with an _ underscore?

I am using Xibo 3.3.5 in a Docker installation.

Thanks a lot

Underscores are not valid in URL hostnames, and so Xibo is correctly validating that the underscore there is invalid.
