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?

I'm able to reproduce this issue. @Kong/team-insomnia I'm not entirely sure, but this might be related to the recent changes we did in order to support recent Electron versions.

Here's an example comparison, between 2021.7.2 and 2022.2.0:

The version previous to the one @unreleased mentions in the issue description is affected as well, so might be also from the changes we did to bump to Electron 12.

This issue was caused by an update to libcurl. We're working on a workaround for this problem, which should make it into a beta in the near future (#4659)

It was same for me when I tried to listen to a port on a local node server. Turns out I only did app.get() and didn't wrote app.listen(). The moment I listened on the port, insomnia started working as intended!
Hope that helps!
