Old Rule with GET request no longer works under V2.5.1.142 (.143)

After upgrading to v2.5.1.142 on my C8 one of my rules stopped to function. Specifically, any of my Send GET message (or as in the case below Set Result GET) returned an "unauthorized" error. Unfortunately, the log that contained the exact error message is several days old and no longer available. This specific rule has run for well over one year without any edits.

UPDATE: Ran this rule on an other hub with v..142 (and ...143 as well) installed. This is the error I get:

com.hubitat.hub.executor.helpers.ExecutorHttpResponseException: status code: 401, reason phrase: Unauthorized on line 7347 (method appButtonHandler)

If I copied the exact URL from within the rule and pasted it into the address bar all was good. (i.e. http://user:pswd@192.168.1.50/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action%3DsetConfig%26VideoInMode%5B0%5D.ConfigEx%3DNight%26VideoInMode%5B0%5D.Mode%3D4)

Eventually, after hours of struggle, I decided to roll back to Platform Version V2.5.0.159 and viola. All was good, this same rule runs without any issue.

The rule in question:

Checking.
