iTest is substituting '%5B' for '[' in REST request url
My REST request URL contains few special symbols like ‘[]’. when I add the parameter having ‘[]’ symbol to the URL, ‘%5B’ is being substituted instead of ‘[]’ PFA How to use ‘[]’ in my request url? ![alt text][1] [1]: /storage/temp/3697-rest_request_img.png
I tried to solve this by manually adding a GET step giving the REST request URL containing special symbols but still request is not being sent. and the below error is shown corresponding to the step in Test case: "Invalid Substitution in field: Unknown command 0" Basically my URL is of below format: http://serverIp/action?username=value&password=value&dnode[0].description=value&dnode[0].name=value Where dnode[0].desc , dnode[0].name are parameters.
The encoding will changes requested URL for all special symbols. For example: [ = %5B ] = %5D % = %25 and so on. This is called percent encoding and is used in encoding special characters in the url parameter values. Please let us know if you are facing any issues.
Yes.. Request is being sent with these encoded characters instead of actual characters i.e. [, ] and resulting in some Exceptions.. Is there anyway to send request with actual characters instead of encoded characters?
