500 on base64 query

[Seluj78]

Description

I was trying to make a filtered query and got a 500 when doing this query

GET https://shellhub.example.com/api/devices?page=1&per_page=100&filter=W3sidHlwZSI6InByb3BlcnR5IiwicGFyYW1zIjp7Im5hbWUiOiJuYW1lIiwib3BlcmF0b3IiOiJjb250YWlucyIsInZhbHVlIjoidCJ9fV0

No clue why, as I just copied the base64 from the UI when searching for the letter t in the search bar

Hi, @Seluj78.

This problem seems to be caused by a base64 decode error. Investigating it, I have noticed that the resultant request from typing t on our UI search bar is different by a char, = ,on its end.

Something like this, should work.

 http -v -A bearer -a "$token" GET http://localhost/api/devices\?page\=1\&per_page\=100\&filter\=W3sidHlwZSI6InByb3BlcnR5IiwicGFyYW1zIjp7Im5hbWUiOiJuYW1lIiwib3BlcmF0b3IiOiJjb250YWlucyIsInZhbHVlIjoidCJ9fV0\=

Right, I just tested again and indeed it seems like I forgot to copy a =... My bad!

On the other end though, I think a more explicit message and something other than a 500 would benefit greatly the API users :)

I strongly agree. We are planning to work on the messages as soon as possible.

Great, do you want me to open another issue/feature request about this message for you to track it ?

Perfect. It sounds good to me.
