    Hello obaid_shirwani,

     

    What is the content-type header field value for that request? I suppose, it is "application/x-www-form-urlencoded". If this is the case, then this behavior is correct and conforms to the HTTP standard - for that content type, the body must be url-encoded. The server must url-decode all the values to handle them.

     

    I think the verification failed for some other reason. We could help you better if you packed the entire LC project with the latest verification results and sent it to us in a support case:

    Thanks!
