Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Current behavior

When I send a POST with a URL encoded parameter the api rejects it as the Hoppscotch encode it a second time.

Given this set of input:

The problem is that a URL has semi colon ":" so this gets removed from the paramater as it treats it like a key: value symbol.

I would expect there to be RAW input for posting and allow to make a perfectly reasonable POST such as the following:

`// Line breaks are for legibility only.

POST https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant}/oauth2/v2.0/token HTTP/1.1
Host: login.microsoftonline.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

client_id=535fb089-9ff3-47b6-9bfb-4f1264799865
&scope=https%3A%2F%2Fgraph.microsoft.com%2F.default
&client_secret=qWgdYAmab0YSkuL1qKv5bPX
&grant_type=client_credentials`

Steps to reproduce

POST
Body
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
param = 'test' : value = "https://example.com"

the value field with automatically remove the semi-colon

Environment

Production
