How to prevent groovy RESTClient from url encoding path with% 2F codes in it?

I have groovy code to make a GET request to the server:

import groovyx.net.http.RESTClient
import static groovyx.net.http.ContentType.*

import groovyx.net.http.HTTPBuilder

def server = new RESTClient( 'https://myaccount.cloudant.com'  )

// the id contains a forward slash, i.e. xxxx/yyyy

response = server.get (path: 'aaaa/xxxx%2Fyyyy', 
         contentType: JSON, requestContentType: JSON)

However, the following message is sent to the server:

"GET /aaaa/xxxx%252Fyyyy HTTP/1.1"

When should it be:

"GET /aaaa/xxxx%2Fyyyy HTTP/1.1"

Groovy seems to be encoding the path - how can I prevent this?

This worked for me:



import groovyx.net.http.RESTClient
import static groovyx.net.http.ContentType.*
import groovyx.net.http.URIBuilder
import groovyx.net.http.HTTPBuilder

def server = new RESTClient( 'https://myaccount.cloudant.com' )

def uri = new URIBuilder(
    new URI( server.uri.toString() + '/aaaa/xxxx%2Fyyyy' )
    )

response = server.get (
            uri: uri, 
            requestContentType: JSON
            )
