I'm using Bitly to shorten some URLs (which I have no control over), and the URLs are formatted like:
http://example.net?someParam=abc%2Fdef
Unfortunately, when I pass that URL to Bitly, the %2F gets URL decoded back to a /. I've checked through the documentation and I can't see any setting to preserve the encoding.
I've also tried encoding the % as %25 first, but Bitly seems to be selective in which encoded characters to decode - the %25 remains encoded.
Any ideas how to get around this or whether it's something Bitly can support?
Using this endpoint btw: https://api-ssl.bitly.com/v4/shorten
