URL as path parameter in CXF

[ricky <up...@yahoo.com>]

Hi

I want to send a request to a rest api with path param as url, something
like

http://my.api.com/http://www.nabble.com

I am encoding the url, http://www.nabble.com but I get 400 bad request.

What's the right way to send url as path parameter?

Thank you

Hi,

Possibly error is thrown by web container, because of encoded slash property is switched off by default.
In tomcat you can switch on it through org.apache.tomcat.util.buf.UDecoder.ALLOW_ENCODED_SLASH=true (see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7955556/url-as-path-parameter-in-restful-api-causes-bad-request )

What is your use case for URI parameter? Perhaps it fit to standard HTTP header like Location or Referer.

Regards,
Andrei.
