Hi,

I have a developed messageflow which takes input in both SOAP and JSON message formats and replies to the consumer in the respective formats.

One of the fields in the response is an URL.

The issue which I am facing is that the '/' characters in the URL are appended with control character '\' while replying in JSON message format.
Due to this behaviour, the consumer of the API is not able to open the link.

For e.g.

Actual URL

http://machinename:1234/abc/xyz/123/456

Becomes

http:\/\/machinename:1234\/abc\/xyz\/123\/456

The updated URL does not work.

I understand that this is pretty much the right behaviour of handling special characters.

One of the way to handle this scenario would be encode the URL using BASE64 encoding. However, wanted to know whether is there any way to suppress the escape characters?

Note that the same behaviour does not happen in case of SOAP message format.

I am using IIB version 9.0.0.0.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Pats ...
