Disable url encoding from the main tab in urlencode.
Example:
a) Original url - https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greetings

CookieContainer - Starting from version 5.18.0.0 in the additional settings in the section “Headers: User settings” there is an option “Use CookieContainer” . CookieContainer allows GET / POST requests to share cookies with the browser, i.e. if they are changed as a result of the request, then in the browser they will also change and vice versa. This allows you to easily transfer part of the logic of working with the site to POST / GET requests.

This mode is worth choosing if you are trying to download a file using a request.
The path to the downloaded file will be saved to the variable.
By default, files are downloaded to the Trash folder in the ZennoPoster installed directory. The path to it may look like this - C: \ Program Files \ ZennoLab \ RU \ ZennoPoster Pro V7 \ 7.4.0.0 \ Progs \ Trash \ googlelogo_color_92x30dp.png

Turn off the browser
If you are not using the browser when working with requests, you must disable it in the Project Settings .
...
Request transfer method
For more information on how to transfer HTTP requests, see Project Settings .
...
Usage example
You need to go to the page and collect all the values for the specified conditions. Since the site gives all the values without using a browser, we turn it off.
...
Turn off the browser.
Add a GET request action.
Configuring.
We receive the response of the request into a variable.
We are looking for the necessary values
Thus, disabling the browser will significantly save computer resources. The difference in the number of threads between working with tabs and queries can be more than significant.
...
Do not use a browser
If you work exclusively with the help of requests, then you can turn off the browser, thereby saving computer resources; you can do this either in the project settings or using the Browser Settings action.
...
HTTP-Request transfer method
ZennoPoster has two methods of working with requests - third-party development (standard method, Chilkat library) and our own (alternative method). If something does not work for you when working with HTTP requests using the standard method, then try switching to an alternative method.
You can change the method of sending requests in the program settings (globally for all projects) or in the settings of a specific project.
...
Usage example
Find out the current ip address from which the project is running.
To do this, just make a GET request at https://api.ipify.org/, and in the Proxy tab, select the Current proxy of the project.
