DNN rewriting URL and adding Default.aspx? in Query-String

Question

I have a Product list page on DNN.

On this module I have a function which is called when clicked. I am adding the name of the product and SKU in the URL as a Querystring. I noticed that DNN would rewrite ?Title= to /Title/ as well as &SKU= to /SKU/ when the SKU is normal without a forward slash. For example SKU/SR2018B

The URL below would work: www.ourwebsite.com/Product-View/Title/staple-remover-black/sku/SR2018B

My main problem is when the SKU has a special character like a forward slash, for example: SS023/10. This will cause the URL to break. I am using an encoder for the SKU. Notice that ?Title did not change to /Title/ and now there is a Default.aspx? present in the URL below.

www.ourwebsite.com/Product-View?Title/staples-2313-1000pcs-100-pages/Default.aspx?sku=SS023%2f13

Here is my Code Behind when a person is redirected to the Detailed Page.

if (tabIdToRedirectTo == null) m_alerts.ShowModuleMessage(ModuleMessage.ModuleMessageType.RedError, $"An error occurred when attempting to Redirect to the '{settingKey}' Page!", ref plcMessages, true); else Response.Redirect(Globals.NavigateURL(tabIdToRedirectTo.TabID, "", "?Title="+ hiddendescription.Value + "&sku=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(hiddensku.Value), EmbeddedModule.GenerateFullQueryStringForEmbedding(EmbeddedCompanyCode, EmbeddedShowCustPricing)));

I believe it's how you're calling the Globals.NavigateUrl function. The call takes a params of strings which are your query strings in the key=value format. I usually like to easily see what I am about to pass so I do something like the following:

var qsParams = new List<string>{
    "Title=" + hiddendescription.Value, // "Title=staples-2313-1000pcs-100-pages"
    "sku=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(hiddensku.Value), // "sku=SS023%2f13"
    EmbeddedModule.GenerateFullQueryStringForEmbedding(EmbeddedCompanyCode, EmbeddedShowCustPricing)
};

return Globals.NavigateURL(tabIdToRedirectTo.TabID, "", qsParams.ToArray());

Granted - I do not know what your EmbeddedModule.GenerateFullQueryStringForEmbedding does, but as long as it returns a key=value type output, it should be passed and processed well.
