Current Behavior

Follow-up of 4058.

---

Passing an empty URL via Yaml with an Azure webhook will not work.

Expected Behavior

Ensure Fleet backend automatically translates empty spaces passed to a gitrepo URl into %20 to ensure webhooks work also in this circumstance.

Note from @0xavi0 : consider use of url.PathEscape()

Steps To Reproduce

Prepare azure webhook. A guide can be found here.
Pass gitrepo with empty url in the yaml. For example https://fleetqa@dev.azure.com/fleetqateam/_git/fleet qa with spaces
Observe how currently is not possible

Environment

- Architecture: amd64
- Fleet Version: 0.13.6 onwards
- Cluster:
  - Provider:k3s
  - Options:
  - Kubernetes Version: 1.33.2+k3s1

Hmm, not sure about that one. YAML is supposed to be machine readable. Encoding of into %20 should happen on the UI level. A YAML editor is not UI 🤔

@marcelofukumoto wdyt ?

Closing as wontfix.
YAML level is considered "machine level", where special characters (like blanks, or ampersands, etc.) must be properly escaped.
