Encoding

Unetus automatically encodes special characters in request URLs. Auto-encoding can cause issues for some users who want to send non-encoded special characters.

Check the exact request URL sent using the Timeline tab.

The Timeline tab appears on the right-side panel after a request is sent. Upon sending a request, check the Timeline tab to see the encoded values sent.

Troubleshoot Special Character Issues

The following are options for troubleshooting special character issues.

Encode your own request URL using an encoding tool like urlencoder or W3Schools.
Disable automatic encoding completely (likely too disruptive of a change) In this scenario, there could be a Template Tag for encoding values explicitly
Add option on each query parameter to enable or disable encoding
Add global workspace-level setting to enable or disable encoding
Have a character allowlist for encoding
Use the Insomnia encoder plugin
