Description

This PR removed the query parameter double encoding.
Issue link

But instead of removing only one iteration of encoding from the double encoding, it removed both, so instead of double encoded parameters now they are not encoded at all.

The problem is with this line. UriComponentsBuilder.build() method does not encode properly. See this SO issue.

Proposal:

  • change it back to builder.encode().toUriString()

  • or make it configurable to encode the parameters.

I can create a PR if we agree on which is the preferred way.

Research direction

Inspect the Java webclient query-parameter construction at the line changed by PR #5255 and its referenced commit, focusing on UriComponentsBuilder.build(). Compare the proposed encoding behavior with the issue’s expected result; done means parameters are encoded once rather than left unencoded or encoded twice.
