Get 400 Bad request

sunmingtao commented 4 years ago

Initially thought it was due to the basic authentication, but then I was told it would have returned 400 if it was an authentication issue.

Tested with other libraries and they worked fine. It was a data issue.

The offending data seems to be "lastModifiedBy":"pTestsupport1 "

The space in the value is no ordinary space, but a unicode character "u0xa0"

Why the Firefox is able to send the request normally but not through the development tool remains a mystery.
