Description

On this page:
https://runestone.academy/runestone/dashboard/questiongrades

Attempts to set a grade do not seem to go through reliably.

Possible cause: the sid sent is url encoded. So an @ symbol ends up mangled:

I don't know that it gets unescaped on the server.

Research direction

Start at the dashboard/questiongrades page and trace the record_grade route, focusing on how the sid value is encoded and received by the server. Reproduce grading with an sid containing @ and confirm that attempts submit reliably without the identifier being mangled.
