  • 1.  Special character error - API Explorer

    Posted Sep 30, 2019 04:03 PM
    Hi,

    Exploring an API from Portal, the special character makes it base64.
    CA API Portal 4.3

    It should be like that

    Someone would have an idea, Why does the change of the special character happen?

    Regards,
    Enrique Mestas

    Good day Enrique,

    I haven't encountered this before but when I have similar issues with unexpected behavior it is usually due to copy/paste for spaces, hidden characters, etc.

    I hope that helps.

    Kind Regards,

    Hi Dimitrios,

    The Request URL is automatically generated based on the path and the parameters that are entered into a GET method.
    This happens only with the "=" character.
    I already opened a case with support, but it tells me that it is normal behavior. The same thing happened to someone else with the CA API Portal 4.3 version.
