Invalid URL formed in Javascript

Question

I am getting the following URL in my code (as a string) --

$image_url =""http:\\/\\/hello.us\\/kruger\\/web\\/invest\\/api\\/graph\\/gfx\\/tags\\/shop.png\""

However when i use this (in a facebook app) -- it says.. [$image_url] should represent a valid URL

What string operation (or something else) should i do to make the URL A valid image url? Thanks for your help.

There is error in the string "" at the start

""http:\\/\\/hello.us\\/kruger\\/web\\/invest\\/api\\/graph\\/gfx\\/tags\\/shop.png\""

I suppose the string is "\"http:\\/\\/hello.us\\/kruger\\/web\\/invest\\/api\\/graph\\/gfx\\/tags\\/shop.png\""

\\ in the string evaluates to \

Facebook api sees the url as this ""http:\/\/hello.us\/kruger\/web\/invest\/api\/graph\/gfx\/tags\/shop.png"" so it is unable to understand the url.

Replace the extra \ and " using the following code

url = data.replace(/([\\"])/g,'');

url returned is http://hello.us/kruger/web/invest/api/graph/tags/shop.png

var data ="\"http:\\/\\/hello.us\\/kruger\\/web\\/invest\\/api\\/graph\\/gfx\\/tags\\/shop.png\""; // YOUR CURRENT DATA

url=data.replace(/([\\"])/g,'');

console.log(url);
