^{Originally posted by **heysarthak** February 14, 2024} Hi team, I am ussing httpx plugin, while sending httpx query "ngi%abc.com" . ideally "%" symbol should be encoded as "%25" but it is still sending as the same "%". can we please have a fix for this.

% character has a special meaning in URLs, representing the start of a percent-encoded character. To include a literal % character in a URL, it must be percent-encoded as %25.

You can manually encode the query parameters in Python using the urllib.parse module:


from urllib.parse import quote
import httpx

query_param = "ngi%abc.com"
encoded_query_param = quote(query_param)

url = f"https://example.com/search?q={encoded_query_param}"
resp = httpx.get(url)
