    Thanks for your reply, but as mentioned in my initial post this is what i already tried. ADO is messing up the url when using your approach resulting in the folloing error:

    {
  "$id":"1",
  "innerException":null,
  "message":"TF401174: The item 'wiki/.attachments/config.xml?download=true&fileName=config.xml' could not be found in the repository '<nonOfYourBusiness>' at the version specified by '<Branch: feature/2191 >' (resolved to commit '1dfc...bfd4')",
  "typeName":"Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Git.Server.GitItemNotFoundException, Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Git.Server",
  "typeKey":"GitItemNotFoundException",
  "errorCode":0,
  "eventId":3000
}

     

    The reason for that - as mentioned above - is that the resulting url contains no real url parameters but encodes any char "?" or "&" as utf escaped char:

    https://.../_apis/git/repositories/.../Items?path=/wiki/.attachments/config.xml%3Fdownload%3Dtrue%26fileName%3Dconfig.xml&download=false&resolveLfs=true&%24format=octetStream&api-version=5.0-preview.1&sanitize=true&versionDescriptor.version=feature/2191
