transfer-02-consumer-pull proxyPath is encoded - Can this be turned off?

[oliverbusch]

When connecting to a backend service, there is a problem if the ProxyPath is not to be encoded.

Here is an example:

The connected backend service requires the following parameter to provide the data:

smart.data%2Fdemo%2Frepo%2F1%2F1%2F454576463545648365874

The transfer is done with the following command

curl --location --request GET 'http://localhost:19191/api/public/1/smart.data%2Fdemo%2Frepo%2F1%2F1%2F454576463545648365874' \
--header 'Authorization: 1234' \
--header 'X-Api key: password'

In the DataPlane log console, you can see that the URL is encoded

DEBUG 2024-02-13T12:34:06.879157137 Executing HTTP request: https://backend/repository/smart.data/demo/repo/1/1/454576463545648365874

But the backend expects the following url
https://backend/repository/smart.data%2Fdemo%2Frepo%2F1%2F1%2F454576463545648365874

Is there a way to disable the decoding of the proxy path? Or is there another way to pass the ProxyPath decoded?

hi, currently it's not possible (currently the path is added using the okhttp addPathSegments, that encodes it), but I guess it is a feature that could be implemented. Could you please open an issue in the https://github.com/eclipse-edc/Connector repository?
