How do I stop URL forward slash from being encoded?

I am creating some new tests calling a new rest end point.

 

I need to call the endpoint like this.

but I am getting some forward slashes  encoded like this.

How do I stop this??

 

Thank you.

    Your parameter "entity" has a slash in it! You are either going to get the whole parameter encoded or nothing.

    You need to break this up into two parameters, maybe: "entitypre" and "entitypost", or something. The separating slash between parameters will not be encoded, but the two _parts_ will.
