The `<http:outbound-channel-adapter>` and `<http:outbound-gateway>` now provide an `encode-uri` option that controls whether the request uri is encoded (default `true`). It can be useful in some scenarios with a non standard URL, e.g. RabbitMQ REST API: 'http://foo.RabbitMQ.com/api/queues/%2f/bar.queue' where we must not encode the '%'. https://jira.springsource.org/browse/INT-2455 INT-2455: Polishing based on PR comments INT-2455: 'encode-uri' in the Reference Manual
