Prevent encoding of URL passed to Call Service node

Third party integrations Node-RED

I’d like to send an image along with an IOS notification using one Call Service node. The image location URL will vary based on the type of notification. to do that I assign a string, msg.attachment, which contains the URL I want to pull from. I use that string in the Call Service node i.e. “url” : “{{attachment}}”

This is the result I want:

“attachment”:{
“url”:“https://cam1.example.com/image.jpg”,
“content-type”:“jpeg”}

But this is the result I get:

"attachment":{
  "url":"https://cam1.example.com/image.jpg",
  "content-type":"jpeg"}

When I hardcode the URL in the Call Service node it works. When I use the string it encodes the URL which does not work. How can I prevent it from encoding the URL?

Thanks

Use 3 { }

"url": "{{{attachment}}}"
