I have a site that collects urls. A full http url is enter into a texbox. I am getting a 400 error when a url is being passed in the parameter, It works fine with regular text. Using jquery how can I pass the full URL in my application. Thanks for any help.

MVC Routing Config

 routes.MapRoute("UploadLinks", "media/upload_links/{link}/{albumID}",
                       new { controller = "Media", action = "WebLinkUpload" });

Controller Action

 public ActionResult WebLinkUpload(string link, string albumID){}

Jquery ajax call

$('#btnUploadWebUpload').click(function () {
        $.ajax({
            type: "GET",
            url: "/media/upload_links/" + encodeURIComponent($('#txtWebUrl').val().trim()) + "/" + currentAlbumID,
            contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
            dataType: "json",
            success: function (result) {

            }
        });
    });
