url variables automatically hex encoding - how can i get it to stop?
The pages that I am trying to scrape have a userID that consists of a series of hex codes (e.g. %25%26....).
I can capture the userID accurately in a session variable - no problem.
But when I try to use the session variable in a scraping request, the variable is converted to %2525%2526 in the url - in other words, the encoded hex url ends up being double-hex-encoded!
How can I work around this?
THANKS!

If the userID is passed as a
If the userID is passed as a get request you can put it in the URL field of the properties tab of the scrapeable file and it will not be re-encoded. If it is a post parameter the only way would be to write a script to decode the parameter before it is passed.
