Unable to query datasets with # in the name

[macjabeth]

Describe the bug

When attempting to search for datasets that include a # in the name, it fails with a 400 Bad Request.

Requests to other datasets work fine.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to Data Sets in Zowe Extension
2. Create your profile (if not already created)
3. Click the magnifying glass to search a new dataset
4. Search for a dataset that includes # in its name
5. See the 400 error

Expected behavior

Searching for these datasets should return a proper response without error.

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: macOS Big Sur (11.6)
• Zowe Explorer Version: v1.19.0
• (Optional) Zowe CLI Version: N/A
• (Optional) Are you using Secure Credential Store? N/A

Additional context

Replacing # with %23 fixes the issue (temporarily) so the datasets can be searched for. However, it still doesn't let me open the datasets after searching them.

@macjabeth Is this still happening to you? I tried it with v1.19 and it was okay.

[macjabeth]

@jellypuno Just tried it and I'm still getting errors, unfortunately.

Doesn't work with #. When I replace # with %23, it loads the results as expected but doesn't let me open any of them (presumably b/c it queries for # again behind the scenes).

[macjabeth]

Any updates on this? Or ideas on how to fix it? I'm still having the issue, both with the VSCode extension and the Zowe CLI.

@zowe/cli 6.37.3
Zowe Explorer v1.21.0
