Using GET method to retrieve data from API using a name

i'm building a REST API and was wondering how i would go about retrieving a user data by using his name. I currently have the URI example.com/rest/users/{name} , however if someone contain a slash in his name this wouldn't work. So How would i do this? (using Jersey)
