Consider working with URLs that do not feature HTML entities like &. If, for some reason, you cannot avoid them in your URLs, do the following to parse them:

const url = "http://localhost/projects/opencart/opencart230/upload/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=40";
const parseResult = new DOMParser().parseFromString(url, "text/html");
const parsedUrl = parseResult.documentElement.textContent;
console.log(parsedUrl);

You can use replace function

str = 'http://localhost/projects/opencart/opencart230/upload/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=40'
str.replace('&','&')

You might wanna use str.replace(/&/g, '&'); to replace all instead
