Thank you for your response.

The 2 requests hit the server.

If I request https://toto.com/query?coco=["tata"."titi"]  with SOAP UI all characters are well encoded and I have a the response I expect. 

If I request https://toto.com/query?coco=["tata"."titi"]  with ReadyApi the double quote is "double encoded"  and my service responds an error (which is normal) . I guess the point is, the double quotes is encoded a first time (%22) and I don't know why but the percent is a second time encoded (%25) the result is the double quote is now encoded like %2522.

    I can't help at all - but I'm grateful you provided a work around for this - I might stumble across this in future - so I'm very grateful! (I'm using ReadyAPI!)

     

    cheers,

    If I understand it right, SoapUI CE is working as desired, but not ReadyAPI. Correct?
    Report the case with Customer support using https://support.smartbear.com

    Mean while, may be you can give it a try if you have earlier version to see if that helps.

    Otherwise, try the below workaround to see if that helps.
    Create a test case level custom property, and provide that value as needed and use the Property expansion in the URL to see if that helps.

    By the way, are you using both the softwares (CE and Pro)? or just trying it on CE as Pro did not work?
