Error: URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL

See original GitHub issue

Expected Behavior

Hey, when I have “Automatically encoded special characters in URL” unchecked I seem to be getting an error when using a space " " inside the URL Error: URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL - This never used to happen in Insomnia and I’ve been using it for years, this was the primary reason I’ve been using insomnia is the ability to easily control and malform requests for my security work. It should still make the request using the unencoded space character.

Actual Behavior

It returns an error: Error: URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL

Reproduction Steps

Use any URL with a space " " and make sure you have “Automatically encoded special characters in URL” unchecked

Is there an existing issue for this?
