WebService Request Issues

Illegal Character in Request

If you  are passing in the Url some special chars (like a json string...) you will get the error below. Such character will have to be escaped, this is done automatically if you use the GET Parameters content type in the Webservice Query as explained in the Webservice Datasource Documentation
