Accessing private members from powershell

Question

I\'m trying to get Uri to stop encoding \'/\' As explained here: GETting a URL with an url-encoded slash

But how to achieve the same in powershell ?

I\'m tr

Answer 1

Taking that other post as what you need, you want this:

$uri = [uri]"http://example.com/%2F"
$f = [uri].getfield("m_Flags", "nonpublic,instance")
$v = [int]($f.getvalue($uri))
$f.setvalue($uri, [uint64]($v -band (-bnot 0x30)))

PowerShell's -bnot and -band bitwise operators don't work with any types bigger than [int] so I'm downcasting to [int] which does not overflow for the above case (which means flag values beyond [int]::maxvalue are not present.)
