webMethods Knowlegebase : REST API Path Parameter doesn't allow '/' (slash) char (1795505)

Troubleshooting


Problem

Customer migrated from 9.10 to 10.3 and noticed that API receiving all characters in their "path parameter" are no longer working for '/' (slash) character.

The request for that API throws an error "404 Not Found"

HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found

Accept: application/json

X-DIGITAL-ID: 5C474CDC_00C1_2D95

User-Agent: Apache-HttpClient/4.1.1 (java 1.5)

Host: 10.129.32.90

Content-Type: application/json

Content-Length: 274

{"Exception":"API Gateway encountered an error. Error Message: Resource /user/1/12345 not found. Request Details: Service - Dipnn ThinkTank V1, Operation - null, Invocation Time:6:03:24 PM, Date:Jan 22, 2019, Client IP - 10.129.32.174, User - Default and Application:null"}

When removing the slash, all works fine
