Description

The Rest service connectivity is failing using the camel HTTP component when the REST service password has a special character like %. e.g. "test%hello". It seems the camel HTTP component API internally converting the special characters in the password to URL encoded characters and in the conversion, it is incorrectly converting the % character to %2525. In the example, as given above, it is converting the password to "test%2525hello".

We are using camel version 3.6.0.
