Double-Escaping of URL Parameter in n8n's AI Agent HTTP Request Node
The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.
Want to use over 200+ MCP servers inside your coding tools like Cursor?
I’m using n8n v1.74.3 and encountering an issue with the AI Agent and HTTP Request node. My endpoint URL is something like https://server-api.com/{parameter}. When I pass the parameter as lib/main.dart, it correctly becomes https://server-api.com/lib/main.dart.
However, when I pass it as lib%2Fmain.dart to escape the slash, the URL becomes https://server-api.com/lib%252Fmain.dart, indicating that the slash is being double-escaped. Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong? Any guidance would be appreciated!

The behavior you're seeing is expected because n8n automatically encodes URL parameters. When you pass a value like "lib/main.dart", the node correctly replaces {parameter} with that value. However, if you pass an already encoded value (e.g. "lib%2Fmain.dart"), n8n encodes the percent sign again, resulting in "lib%252Fmain.dart".
To fix this, provide the unencoded value ("lib/main.dart") and let n8n handle the URL encoding automatically. This avoids the double-encoding issue you're encountering.
