[Bug]: Changing the REST Connection authentication type does not refresh the UI to show the newly required fields; they show up only after save/reopen.

What happened?

Visual/UI bug: when changing the Authentication type in a REST Connection to an option that introduces new metadata fields (e.g., API Key), the corresponding inputs (e.g., Authorization header) are not rendered/expanded to allow entering values. The fields only appear correctly after saving (and/or reopening) the connection.

On that screen, any base URL I enter also gives the error of

ProcessingException: URI is not absolute Root cause: IllegalArgumentException: URI is not absolute

[CarlosJuncher03]

For the test error, I opened this issue:

#6524

[hansva]

you get this error ProcessingException: URI is not absolute Root cause when the base URL does not have a leading / I think
