Firestore Storage - Google Cloud / Error: "Invalid HTTP method/URL pair." when attempting to get an image from a folder within Firebase storage

[CalvinJamesHeath]

[REQUIRED] Step 2: Describe your environment

• Operating System version: macOS Monterey
• Firebase SDK version: 9.4.1
• Firebase Product: Firestore
• Node.js version: v16.13.0
• NPM version: 8.1.0
• Library: React

[REQUIRED] Step 3: Describe the problem

An Invalid HTTP method/URL pair error is displayed when I try to request an image from Firebase Storage if the picture is inside a folder, for example images/image name.png. However, the request is successful if the image is not contained in a folder. The problem is the result of some encoding that was done, possibly as a result of the presence of the %2F in the url while the image is inside a folder.

(I removed https:// here to not create a link)
This works
"firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/[BUCKET]/o/SOME_FOLDER%2F[image_name.jpg]?alt=media"

This doesnt work
"firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/[BUCKET]/o/SOME_FOLDER/[image_name.jpg]?alt=media"

This type of url without folder and the %2F works fine.
"firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/[BUCKET]/o/[image_name.jpg]?alt=media"

To Reproduce
Just upload an image to firebase storage FOLDER, add the request for that image url and test on browser.

Expected behavior
The request should succeed when url contains %2F.

This was also an issue among Android devides.
