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.
