Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/1334

🐞 Describe the bug
When creating a notification that has an http action, I'm not able to use more than one colon : in the actions header.

💻 Components impacted
API

💡 Screenshots and/or logs
For example, if we use the example request from Send HTTP Request but I add an additional param to the body, I'll receive the following error response:

curl     -d "Garage door has been open for 15 minutes. Close it?"     -H "Actions: http, Close door, https://api.mygarage.lan/, method=PUT, headers.Authorization=Bearer zAzsx1sk.., body={\"action\": \"close\", \"action2\": \"close2\"}"     ntfy.sh/myhome

{"code":40018,"http":400,"error":"invalid request: actions invalid; unexpected character ':' at position 132","link":"https://ntfy.sh/docs/publish/#action-buttons"}

The issue is actually due to the comma in your body. The comma breaks the "simple" action parser.

To get around this, you need to send the request using the JSON format. Here's the working equivalent:

curl -d '{
    "topic": "myhome",
    "message": "Garage door has been open for 15 minutes. Close it?",
    "actions": [
        {
            "action": "http",
            "label": "Close door",
            "url": "https://api.mygarage.lan/",
            "method": "PUT",
            "headers": {
                "Authorization": "Bearer zAzsx1sk..."
            },
            "body": "{\"action\": \"close\", \"action2\": \"close2\"}"
        }
    ]
}' ntfy.sh
