CURL Request Class - urlencode - 68thorby68 - 08-17-2024

Hi,
I working with a 3rd Party API and need to configure the URL as per the 3rd party spec.

PHP Code:
$my_row = $client->get('/THIRDPARTY/?filter__Company%20Name__equal=my%20company%20(sports%20department) 

However, CURL Request Class encodes the url to:

Code:
GET /THIRDPARTY/?filter__Company_Name__equal=my+company+%28sports+department%29

Is there a way to instruct the CURL Request Class not to encode the url?
I can't see anything obvious in the documentation and the only setting I can find in Config->CURLRequest is

PHP Code:
public $shareOptions = true; 

Any help is appreciated

No.

Use `query` option to send a request with query string.

Many thanks kenjis, with logging, my request is now and works perfectly, Thank you
My code new reads:

PHP Code:
$update_row = $client->request('GET','/THIRDPARTY/',
 [
    'debug' => WRITEPATH.'curl_logs/curl_log.txt',
    'query' => [
        'user_field_names' => 'true', 
        'filter__Company Name__equal' => my company (sports department)

     ], 
    'headers' => [
        'Content-Type' => 'application/json',
        'Authorization' => [mytoken]
    ],
    'json' => [
    ] 
]); 

from the logs, this outputs

Code:
GET /THIRDPARTY/?user_field_names=true&filter__Company+Name__equal=my+company+%28sports+department%29

Just to note, when I use the format

PHP Code:
$update_row = $client->get('/THIRDPARTY/?user_field_names=true&filter__Company Name__equal=my company (sports department), 

The CURL Request Class edits the url to

Code:
GET /THIRDPARTY/?user_field_names=true&filter__Company_Name__equal=my+company+%28sports+department%29

The issue being the space between Company and Name in parameter filter__Company Name__equal is being replaced with an underscore rather and plus!!!

Again many thanks.
