Additional Information

In ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9 release, WMS is updated to support application/geo+json instead of application/geojson. Requests to GetFeatureInfo is updated to send URL encoded strings, for example, application/geo%2Bjson.

Workaround

There is a functioning workaround for this bug, tested in ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9.1. The workaround is demonstrated using the path information with further elaboration after the example request:

https://services.ga.gov.au/gis/services/OZTemp_Well_Data_Extract/MapServer/WMSServer?service=WMS&version=1.3.0&request=GetFeatureInfo&layers=Thermal_Well&styles&crs=EPSG%3A3857&bbox=15823927.178137133,-3219853.1348547763,15887784.921106925,-3188589.4481924823&width=960&height=470&query_layers=Thermal_Well&feature_count=20&info_format=application%2Fgeo%2Bjson&x=456&y=131

The problem with the last test, which formats the request with application/geojson, is that the request requires using the ACII code for the special characters, so the '/' is '%2F' and the '+' is '%2B' in order to allow the request to use the new formatting for ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9+.
