Having Issues While Trying To Pass %26 For Ampersand "&" Symbol In REST (GET) API Call in OSB (Doc ID 2889634.1)

Last updated on NOVEMBER 15, 2023

Applies to:

Oracle Service Bus - Version 12.2.1.0.0 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

Unable to use "&" ampersand symbol in REST API URL query.

Example:
When trying to send a string "Company=Name & Address, as an Example",
      https://......./Company=Name+%26+Address%2C+as+an+Example

The string gets decoded before it goes out of OSB as:   "Company=Name & Address, as an Example".

Since the callee is also decoding the string from their end, it comes out wrong.

To prevent a double decoding, the ask is NOT to decode the string and leave the octets as is.
