Originally assigned to: @NghiaTranUIT on GitHub.

Proxyman version?

2.35.0

macOS Version?

11.6

Steps to reproduce

Attempt to set a map local or map remote for any network request containing the ' character - such as requests using sitecore's ODATA item service. Fake example request: http://myDomain/sitecore/api/ssc/aggregate/content/Items('/path/to/item/content')/Children
Make network request that should match to map local/map remote

Expected behavior

Items are successfully matched. However, they are not - to mitigate the solution I need to substitute a wildcard for the path containing the ' symbol, i.e. http://myDomain/sitecore/api/ssc/aggregate/content/*/Children

Screenshots (optional)

It seems to be a bug when building an internal regex if the URL contains the ' character. I'm going to fix it 👍

To workaround, you can use the * or ? wildcard, like your mention:

http://myDomain/sitecore/api/ssc/aggregate/content/*/Children

Hey @markanderson4 Here is your beta build: https://proxyman.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/beta/Proxyman_2.35.0_Fix_special_character_in_url_matching.dmg

Proxyman can properly match URL, which contains the ( or ) and ' character 👍

The problem was Proxyman accidentally parsed the () as a Group Regex.
