Mysticism: Invoke-WebRequest working only via ISE

Question

I have killed 3 hours today and don\'t understand why?

I have easy script:

$user = \'icm\'
$pass = \'icm\'
$pair = \"$($user):$($pass)\"
$url = \'http://         


        

Answer 1

I had also the same problem with RabbitMQ, the cause is the escaping of %2f in URL. See Percent-encoded slash (“/”) is decoded before the request dispatch

With the tricks of the above answer, it works both in ISE and console :

$urlFixSrc = @" 
using System;
using System.Reflection;

public static class URLFix 
{ 
    public static void ForceCanonicalPathAndQuery(Uri uri)
    {
        string paq = uri.PathAndQuery;
        FieldInfo flagsFieldInfo = typeof(Uri).GetField("m_Flags", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
        ulong flags = (ulong) flagsFieldInfo.GetValue(uri);
        flags &= ~((ulong) 0x30);
        flagsFieldInfo.SetValue(uri, flags);
    }
} 
"@ 
Add-Type -TypeDefinition $urlFixSrc -Language CSharp

$url = [URI]$url

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -Headers $headers -ContentType "application/json"
