2593287 - XML Syntax is Getting Changed With ExecuteRESTService

Symptom

The ExecuteRESTService as part of WebServiceUtilities is causing the '<' in the resulting XML file to be changed to '&lt'. It also changes different characters.

Environment

SAP Cloud Applications Studio

Reproducing the Issue

Calling a REST service third party webservice using WebServiceUtilities.ExecuteRESTService in ABSL scripting.

Cause

This method allows encoding which can change characters in the XML file. An example would be having "&" converted to "&amp".

Resolution

Using "ExecuteRESTServiceWithoutEncoding" should resolve this issue. Please implement "ExecuteRESTServiceWithoutEncoding" in your ABSL script.
