Description

I have a legacy API I have no access to that receives these requests:

http://old.server/ws_reallyold/api/get/proyects/%22WHAT%22/%22EVER%22

When I try to put api umbrella in front of it this is what the server gets:

http://apiumbrella.server/ws_reallyold/api/get/proyects/"WHAT"/"EVER"

The %22 is changed into " (double quotes) and it fails.

Any idea how I can't avoid this un-escaping?

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the request through API Umbrella and compare the forwarded path with the original URL, focusing on the %22 segments. Done means the legacy API receives the encoded path unchanged, with a regression test covering this request.
