A forward slash '/' is stripped from the query paramaters on the request

[rwindt]

Current behavior

When using cy.request() for a path without a hostname the trailing / is deleted from the query parameters. In test we use, we have a baseUrl, and per test we add the path.

For example we have defined the baseUrl www.test.url(please use a working url, this is only used as an example) and in the test we have cy.request('/pageOne?param1=/param/') then the following is executed in Cypress request GET 200 http://www.test.url/pageOne?param1=/param. The last / is deleted. This test started to fail since the introduction of Cypress 5.4.0, I think it could be related to this issue https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/2101

Desired behavior

Desired behaviour is that the trailing / is not deleted from the given path.

Test code to reproduce

cy.request(`/pageOne?param1=/param/`)

Do have a baseUrl set.

Versions

Worked on 5.3.0 Started to fail from 5.4.0 onwards

To reproduce this doesn't require having a baseUrl set. This behavior change was introduced in 5.4.0 in https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/8630 cc @sainthkh

The code for this is done in cypress-io/cypress#9373, but has yet to be released. We'll update this issue and reference the changelog when it's released.
