Re: [Dev] Use char array as micro service parameter

%24 is the HTML block representation of $ [1]. Browser / AJAX library should be doing this conversion before sending data to server. It might have been transparent to us before, but since service logic itself is handling the ByteBuffer now, it might be necessary to do the HTML decoding separately.
