@toplinuxsir I think it should be the history.json is corrupted, whose content is used for auto completion, and can you check the file under this path %USERPROFILE%\.rest-client\history.json, and update it to make it as a valid JSON, or simply clear the file content.

@Huachao Yes, it works Thanks

But is there any way to escape special character such as &
For Example :
GET http://10.192.2.239:5000/help/auth_email
?email=ttt@sohu.com
&passwd=pass123&*(

But the backend only receive the param passwd is "pass123" not the whole string "pass123&*("

@toplinuxsir I think & is a special character in query string which is used as a separator, so I can not tell the & precisely in query string is the separator or just a normal character. I think you'd better manually escape the & to %26.

In my code, other unescaped characters are already encoded, while & it not by design. I also test the behavior of curl, it's the same as mine.

Or can you avoid passing the passwd in query string, like set them in body, and setting password in url is not a secure way. Just my personal advice, sorry for any inconvenience.
