Bug Description

I have a failed POST request with x-www-form-urlencoded body. The issue is that one of parameter's value contains a hash symbol. Without this hash symbol the query is OK. I found the problem when I saw the curl command, I saw that the value with hash symbol is quoted.

I try to copy the curl command and execute it, it failed, just removing quote on my value and it works.

I reproduced the problem in Hoppscotch public web app, we can see the quoted value when value contains hash symbol :

Deployment Type
