Hello my api path/url looks like below:

https://<server>/api/v1/DR_TEST_PROJECT/item?filter.eq.launchId=27594&filter.eq.name=shouldQueueAndPollMessages[0: testQueue(1 writers, 1 readers, 1,000,000 events)]&filter.eq.parentId=852470

when i use client.request or client.get to perform a get i get a 400 BAD REQUEST error suggesting the special characters are not valid


       try:

This api works when i use requests

is there a workaround to get this working with httpx?

So i see in your _urlparse.py in following lines [] are not escaped
https://github.com/encode/httpx/blob/master/httpx/_urlparse.py#L256C1-L267

Do you have a work around if i case the query needs to have a [] in there??

The api i am using other wise allows these charachter so the following url
https://myrpserver/api/v1/DR_TEST_PROJECT/item?filter.eq.launchId=27599&filter.eq.name=shouldQueueAndPollMessages[0: testQueue(1 writers, 1 readers, 1,000,000 events)]&filter.eq.parentId=852480
should look like this
https://myrpserver/api/v1/dr_test_project/item?filter.eq.launchId=27587&filter.eq.name=shouldQueueAndPollMessages%5B0%3A%20testQueue(1%20writers%2C%201%20readers%2C%201%2C000%2C000%20events)%5D&isLatest=false&launchesLimit=0

But when using httpx it looks like this
https://myrpserver/api/v1/DR_TEST_PROJECT/item?filter.eq.launchId=27599&filter.eq.name=shouldQueueAndPollMessages[0:%20testQueue(1%20writers,%201%20readers,%201,000,000%20events)]&filter.eq.parentId=852480

and because of this it is rejected at the server with 400 bad request
