Issue Description
Hello Team,
One of my customers is having issues with running Azure ApiManagementBackend version 4.1.0 on Azure PowerShell and PowerShell task inside Azure DevOps pipeline.

The above URL is still passed in the script. However, still encounters the issue everytime running on the respective task from the pipeline.
Locally it works with the latest apimanagementbackend version 4.1.0 on Local PowerShell version v5 - build version 26100.
Breaks with latest apimanagementbackend version 4.1.0 on Azure PowerShell and PowerShell version v5 - build version 20348.
Workaround given: Using apimanagementbackend version 4.0.3 with Azure PowerShell and PowerShell tasks.
I kindly request the team to make the fixes as soon as possible.
Thank you,
Pratik Soni.
