How to send AJAX request without encoding url

Question

I am trying to get data from salesforce API using SOQL method. Problem is that when sending ajax getting request it encodes URL that results in failure of $ajax request.

How can I send plain URL in ajax request without encoding URL?

A sample request is HERE:

    $.ajax({

                             type: "GET",

                             url: "https://ap1.salesforce.com/services/data/v35.0/query?q=SELECT Id FROM Contact WHERE Email= '" + Email + "'",

                             headers: {

                                 "Authorization": "OAuth " + access_token,

                                 'Content-Type': 'text/plain'

                             },

                             crossDomain: true,

                             dataType: 'application/json',

                             success: function (responseData) {

                                 console.log(responseData);

                             },

                             error: function (request, status, error) {

                                 console.log(request.responseText);

                             }

                         });

Answer 1

It seems like it returns an undefined response and plain text URL without special chars so that SOQL can be executed. Right? So, for that, try using the following things:

1. q=SELECT Id FROM Contact WHERE Email= '" + Email should work fine in postman it returns response data.
2. replace the spaces with "+"
