Url Online Encoder

I have been trying to access a URL with a / character in it from powershell, using the following command (it's a query to a gitlab server to retrieve a project called "foo/bar"):

Invoke-WebRequest https://server.com/api/v3/projects/foo%2Fbar -Verbose

Now, the odd thing is that using the PowerShell ISE or Visual Studio, the request is OK. When using PowerShell itself, the URL is automatically un-escaped and the request fails. E.g.

In ISE/VS:

$> Invoke-WebRequest https://server.com/api/v3/projects/foo%2Fbar -VerboseVERBOSE: GET https://server.com/api/v3/projects/foo%2Fbar with 0-byte payloadVERBOSE: received 19903-byte response of content type application/jsonStatusCode        : 200StatusDescription : OKContent           : .... data ....

In Powershell:

$> Invoke-WebRequest https://server.com/api/v3/projects/foo%2Fbar -VerboseVERBOSE: GET https://server.com/api/v3/projects/foo/bar with 0-byte payloadInvoke-WebRequest : {"error":"404 Not Found"}At line:1 char:1+ Invoke-WebRequest 'https://server.com/api/v3/projects/foo%2Fbar ...+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (System.Net.HttpWebRequest:HttpWebRequest) [Invoke-WebRequest], WebException    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : WebCmdletWebResponseException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.InvokeWebRequestCommand

I have tried adding single and double quotes around the URL, but nothing is helping.

What could be the reason for this behaviour, and how do I make PS not un-escape the URL string?

Environment: Windows 7, also tested on Server 2012R2 with same results.

$> $PSVersionTableName                           Value----                           -----PSVersion                      4.0WSManStackVersion              3.0SerializationVersion           1.1.0.1CLRVersion                     4.0.30319.42000BuildVersion                   6.3.9600.16406PSCompatibleVersions           {1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0}PSRemotingProtocolVersion      2.2

I need to get a simple REST GET call worked, e.g.

.../process('123')  -> working.../process('123#') -> of course not working.../process('123%23') -> should be working

In the REST-Tool "Postman" it's working with the encoded URL, i.e. # -> %23

I tried it with the following settings

Content-type: application/json; charset=utf-8Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8

Both not working.

Please adviceThanksRalph

How do I render a URL which is not encoded. Below is a sample

import { Component } from '@angular/core';import { Router } from '@angular/router';@Component({  selector: 'demo-app',  template: `<a [routerLink]="stringURL">Click here</a>`,  styleUrls: [ './app.component.css' ]})export class AppComponent  {  stringURL:string;  constructor(){    this.stringURL = "/url;mode=3"  }}

The URL in the template has encoded string like /url%3Bmode%3D3 and I want it like /url;mode=3

How can I achieve this.

Here's the sample : https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-q6mf3p

I generate a link in a browser to share a text via Sms. The link format is the following:

sms:?&body=some and any

However, when the body text contains special characters such as & it breaks, since they are interpreted as a parameter of the syntax:

sms:?&body=some & any

will open the sms message app but fill the body only with some.

The link is generated in a Django backend, therefore I've tried to encode the body as follows

body = urllib.parse.quote(body_text, safe='~()*!.\'')return f'sms:?&body={body}'

which then gives the result

sms:?&body=some %26 any

but it is still cutting off the actual body in the sms to only display some.

Any idea how to work around this issue?
