Prevent Get parameter escape

Is there a method that will prevent a Get parameter from escaping characters on request? For example I'm making a request to a site www.somesite.com/profile?id=T05/VT4gViy+SVKle2A9 Notice the / and + in the parameter. When I use screen-scraper it requests www.somesite.com/profile?id=T05%2FVT4gViy%2BSVKle2A9 replacing / with %2F and + with %2B. I know this is the correct method, however the site I'm making the request to doesn't properly handle the escaped characters and results in an error. I tried it in Chrome (which does not convert the characters) and everything works.

Thanks, Jeremy

If you use the parameters

If you use the parameters tab, it will be encoded, however if you leave the GET parameters on the URL on the properties tab, they will remain how you set them, and you can still set variables on the string. It's just a little harder to read.
