Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Current behavior

I'm trying to get a file from a GitLab repository using the REST API, here is the documentation of the endpoint.

We can see that the file_path in the URL needs to be URL encoded.

Here is a request to get the file README.md at the root of this repository (so file_path is just README.md):

And here is another request to get the file README.md in the folder changelogs (now file_path is changelogs%2FREADME.md):

A 404 Not Found is returned because %2F has been replaced by a slash in the URL.

I tried on Hoppscotch cloud and self-hosted, both returned the same behavior.

Steps to reproduce

Import the following curl request into Hoppscotch:

curl --request GET --url 'https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/278964/repository/files/changelogs%2FREADME.md?ref=master

%2F is replaced by / in the URL when importing, so change the URL from changelogs/README.md to changelogs%2FREADME.md and then send the request

Environment

I did some tests and find out where is the problem. Is in the function that imports curl command, more specific in this line:

const urlString = decodeURIComponent(concatParams(urlObject, danglingParams))

I removed the decodeURIComponent and it worked!

I will open a PR to request this change
