URL Encoding Issue

#26912

We are having an issue where the URL we are using is not the same as we provided, which is causing issues during renditioning. The URL contains reserved special characters within a query string value that have been URL encoded and it appears that PD4ML is decoding the URL when it attempts to retrieve the HTML. Is there a way to prevent the URL from being decoded? This seems like odd behavior considering it is best practice to use an encoded values in a URL when using reserved special characters.

Here is the encoded and decoded URL:
http://localhost/Somepage?key1=1B%2BTI8O2dDe%2BW1buq%2F0%2BAQ%3D%3D&key2=Testing

http://localhost/Somepage?key1=1B+TI8O2dDe+W1buq/0+AQ==&key2=Testing

Also, we are using version 385 for .NET 2.0.

For anyone else who may run into this same issue, they have resolved it in a new release/patch. Essentially, this was only an issue for the .NET libraries.

Thank you for the confirming! Glad the issue is solved on your side.
