question about authorization code
Hi
I am calling API in browser to get authorization code, it returns the result like this:
https://xxx/?code=qvOisvrJIV7v6MXPmhH7wF%2B8oBZW5%2FdnTg8geLTCGsM%3D&user-id=30&tenant-id=xxx&proxy-host=xxx
From this URL, I can see the code=qvOisvrJIV7v6MXPmhH7wF%2B8oBZW5%2FdnTg8geLTCGsM%3D
I need to use this authorization code in Rest client tool like postman to get the access token, if use this value directly, it returns status as "Authorization code is NOT authorized", it seems I need to convert the encoded code like %2B to corresponding special character.
my question is what character does %2B stand for?%2F? and %3D?

Running the string through a URL decoder would reveal the token however for references the following can be used to convert the string:
- $ (Dollar Sign) becomes %24
- & (Ampersand) becomes %26
- + (Plus) becomes %2B
- , (Comma) becomes %2C
- : (Colon) becomes %3A
- ; (Semi-Colon) becomes %3B
- = (Equals) becomes %3D
- ? (Question Mark) becomes %3F
- @ (Commercial A / At) becomes %40
- / (Forward Slash) becomes %2F

I hope this helps,
