throw new TypeError('Request path contains unescaped characters.');

[IBMRob]

Without the global-tunnel my code connects directly to the endpoint fine but when I enable global-tunnel via a MockServer proxy then I am getting the following error:

_http_client.js:54
throw new TypeError('Request path contains unescaped characters.');
^

Same here. Any suggestions?

I had the same problem and raised an issue to node-tunnel.

It seems that dependency to node-tunnel should be updated to '0.0.4`.

Same issue, the fix mentioned above resolved it.
