JIRA::REST Error[400 - Bad Request]: The character '%' is a reserved JQL character

[Michele D_Armento]

Hi

 I run this query using perl script 

use JIRA::REST;

my $search = $jira->GET('/search', {
jql => "project = \"MNAND QRA ITALY\"",
maxResults => 1000,
});

generally it works correctly, but a couple of days ago it started to respond with

JIRA::REST Error[400 - Bad Request]:
- Error in the JQL Query: The character '%' is a reserved JQL character. You must enclose it in a string or use the escape '\u0025' instead. (line 1, character 8)

Which could be the issue???

Hi @Michele D_Armento ,

Give it a try with this JQL value "project%20%3D"MNAND%20QRA%20ITALY""

It doesn't work ... same answer

jql => 'project = \"MNAND QRA ITALY\"' How about this? Also ensure that you are using https

connection is https

it is couple of days that can't resolve jql ... before it worked
