HTTPClient issue with "/"

    The HTTPClient adds automatically a forward slash "/" to the end of the host uri. This causes issues with API's where you query data.
    Example:
    https://api.backendless.com/v1/data/patients/ ---- This will not work
    https://api.backendless.com/v1/data/patients ---- This works

    Can you modify the HTTPClient so it doesn't add the "/" automatically?

    Thanks!!

    Hi @TheMexican, @andrea pointed me that this isn't a real bug because what you should do is to write https://api.backendless.com in HTTPClient and then add a new request (HTTPRequest) with the remaining url part, in this case: v1/data/patients.
    We built HTTP class in a hierarchical way, so on top you can have the host part and each child can specify the url endpoint.
    We probably need to expose that class in a better way but in the meantime you already have a working workaround.
