channel uniquename with no safe HTML characters

[enricop89]

Version: 3.27.1

Code Snippet

const client = new twilio.Twilio(config.twilio.chat.apikey_sid, config.twilio.chat.apikey_secret,
        { accountSid: config.twilio.accountId });
const uniqueName = "ciao#hola"
client.chat.services(result.twilio_service_id).channels(uniqueName)

Exception/Log

status: 404,
 message: 'The requested resource /Services/ISXXXXXXXXXXX/Channels/ciao was not found',
 code: 20404,

Steps to Reproduce

1. Use the retrieve channel api
2. Use uniqueName with no safe HTML characters (such as #)

The function is ignoring the characters after '#' because in HTML the # character has a specific meaning. In order to fix this, you must use the encodeURIComponent function:

client.chat.services(result.twilio_service_id).channels(encodeURIComponent(uniqueName))
