Cannot connect to SabNZBD

[robertodevivo]

the log lists: http://0.0.0.0:8092/sabnzbd/api?mode=get_config&apikey=*******************************§ion=misc&keyword=script_dir

When I access the url it gives an API key incorrect error. if I remove the '§ion=misc' part it gives me some acces... I don't know what happens exactly. It looks like the URL is malformed in some way.

Using version 1.1.17.6 on a Synology

I have the same error message here. So I tried to investigate. I don't know anything about Python, but the problem seems to be:
GameTasks.py (l.368):
url = "http://" + sabnzbdHost + ":" + sabnzbdPort + "/sabnzbd/api?mode=get_config&apikey=" + sabnzbdApi + "&section=misc&keyword=script_dir"

&section is unescaped and so translated to §ion

a quick fix is to modified the line to:
url = "http://" + sabnzbdHost + ":" + sabnzbdPort + "/sabnzbd/api?mode=get_config&apikey=" + sabnzbdApi + "&ampsection=misc&keyword=script_dir"

A better way would be to escape the entire line before opening it but again, I don't know anything about Python.
