I have already asked to be assigned this issue @kelson42 5 days ago. Kindly see into this.

@hjoshi123 yes, sorry @Rahul5758 is already working on this. My bad.

Can you assign this issue me now so that it is not reassigned again @kelson42 ?

This is an encoding issue. The URL linked in the ZIM is .../Book%3ACancer... Kiwix Lib doesn't recognise this. One quick fix would be to replace all %3A's in URLs to : but that might have the possibility of breaking "real" %3A's? @kelson42 Thoughts?

[kelson42]

We should probably call urlDecode(path, true) here https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-lib/blob/master/src/reader.cpp#L467. @mhutti1 Can you try it please?
