Fiddler showing POST x-www-form-urlcoded body wth equals signs (not encoded)










0















I'm using Fiddler to capture some interactive web configuration and then programmatically replicating the steps through PowerShell. Many of the POST calls are using content type application/x-www-form-urlencoded.



Example (dot and dash are encoded but equal is not):
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
value1=some%2Ething&value2=srv%2DD001



Using a .NET library to URL encode along with various online tools, the raw string values don't match up with capture in Fiddler and in particular the "=" equal signs are not changed. Is there a specific way I need to construct the body of key pair values such that the equal sign is preserved and not URL encoded? Also I'm not quite sure how the encoding comes up with "&" as the delimiter for each key value pair.



I can construct the body as Fiddler is capturing it - but ideally I'd like to pass the values in a well structured format and let the encode process take care of the formatting.
