Hi

I'm getting invalid url error in Logstash.  
My config:

```auto
http_poller {
      urls => {
        executedsteps => {
          method => get
          cacert => "/elk-stack/cert.pem"
         url => "https://odata-trial.cognigy.ai/v2.0/ExecutedSteps?$orderby=timestamp desc& apikey=apikey"
          headers => {
          Accept => "application/json"
          }
        }
      }

```

It's valid url, I can e.g. get that endpoint via browser  
Once I remove **$orderby=timestamp desc**

Why Logstash doesn't accept **$orderby=timestamp desc**?  
What's possible solution?

Thanks,  
Kuba

RESOLVED adding %20 instead of space works.  
Forgot to encode space to URL encoding.
