Issue with Mason API Explorer and JSON query parameters #18

Closed BernardMarshall closed 7 years ago

Many thanks for the API Explorer. I have been using it extensively to test and document a Mason draft 2 based REST API. It all works well. I have found one issue with the Explorer. If you enter a URL (just type it in the URL box at the top) of the form GET /google.com?filter=%7B%7Bfred%7D%7D then you will get an error from UriTemplate "Failed to initialize request" with some extra spiel.

I have made up the example above, as we are trying to pass JSON via a query parameter (something like http://some.host?filter=JSON). For some reason Explorer seems to think the URL entered is a template rather than just a raw URL. I am not sure how easy this is to fix. I assume it is a bug as how else can you send JSON as part of a query parameter?

Fixed - but I am unable to build a new installer as the VIX project type has been de-supported in VS2015. You will have to build it for yourself.
