Some API requests with a "&" in area name fail

[MartinBelthle]

Description

When creating an area with "&" in its name, it is not possible to edit its load matrix with the front.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create an area named "a&b"
2. Try to modify the load matrix associated to the area
3. See that it fails

Expected Behavior

It should be possible to edit the load matrix with the front.

Possible Solution

The problem is that the API used it this : /v1/studies/study_id/matrix?path=input/load/series/load_a&b
The & creates a new parameter in the API request which is b and path is only input/load/series/load_a, therefore the request fails.

The solution I see is to escape this character in the API path request.

Environment

• Production
• Staging

@skamril / @hdinia i think this is a front-end issue but i'm not sure, what do you think ?

When a Area ID (or any other parameter) is used in a URL, the ID should be URL-encoded. I think this an issue in the front office code.
