Describe the bug 🐞

s there any way to stop Refit url encoding my URL segments, i'm using a Zoho API and it doesn't like it when it gets encoded.
Example:

[Post("/{prevCalendarId}/events/{**eventId}?destinationcaluid={destinationCalendarId}")]
    Task<CalendarEvent> MoveEventToNewCalendar(string prevCalendarId, 
       string eventId, string destinationCalendarId);

The eventId is passed as something like [email protected], but the @ symbol is being encoded, to something like this:

/api/v1/calendars/9000000001ea4a9287a548f28ca330b0/events/3bf00000000488fda0ec154ee%40zoho.com?destinationcaluid=10e03c34110f402dbf8368e500asdas0

I have seen various options to stop it encoding Query strings, but not the actual URL segments like above.

Step to reproduce

  1. Go to '...'
  2. Click on '....'
  3. Scroll down to '....'
  4. See error
