Hi All,  
after the last update v8.1 if i try to send a GET request, i receive the following error message

HTTP request parsing failed with error: "Malformed URI

if i encode the query params manually, i receive the correct response.  
In the settings sections i’ve set “encode url automatically” to ON.  
The API worked before, How can i resolve the issue?  
Thanks for your help and Regards  
Andrea

The problem was corrected in the past version. In version 8+ it doesn’t work anymore.  
Please add the option, “Use next generation URL processing”, to work again.
