Problem with REST Step in Flow Designer

[Randave Winston]

Hi. I have an action which has a REST Step that calls to a third-party API. The problem is that these characters %EF%BB%BF are appended to the URL.

For example:

https://ipinfo.io/8.8.8.8%EF%BB%BF/json

8.8.8.8 is an input. Because of the appended characters, this error appeared:

Invalid uri 'https://ipinfo.io/8.8.8.8/json': escaped absolute path not valid

Now, I've already managed to remove the characters from the URL but I need to know what is the cause of this because in other devices, this does not occur. Has anyone encountered this?

I am also having the same issue in San Diego. Oddly enough, I have a flow that I built previously with a REST API step that takes action inputs and it is working fine. Wondering if it has to do with a recent patch?

I'm seeing the same issue in Rome. I'm also suspecting something with a recent patch. I was having no issues with this just 2 weeks ago.

I thought the same, but it's actually a recent update to Chromium based browsers. Version 105.0.5195.125 is the troublesome one.

I will try a different browser. Thanks for the reply!

Make sure it is either Firefox or Safari. Chromium and Edge are also an issue.
