CXF does not decode UTF-8 encoded URLs fired by ReSTAssured framework

Hi,

We are using CXF 2.6.

I am calling a ReST service by firing a UTF-8 encoded URL using chrome browser, Fiddler and using ReSTAsured test framework. When URL is fired by RestAssured cxf does not decode URL.

Un encoded URL is http://localhost:8082/admin-services/#

UTF - 8 encoded URL fired is http://localhost:8082/admin-services/%23

CXF decodes %23 to # when I use browser or Fiddler. But not when I use RestAssured framework to fire the URL. Has anyone seen this issue?

Regards,
Dinesh Babu.
