URL Path Parameter Encoding

Question

I'm struggling with path param encoding with retrofit:

• http://localhost:8080/nuxeo/api/v1 is my base url.

• I have this Call @GET("path/{documentPath}") Call<Document> fetchDocumentByPath(@Path("documentPath") String docPath);

• As param, I'm setting the following: default-domain/blabla

• I run the query against my tomcat app and I get this answer

Response{protocol=http/1.1, code=400, message=Bad Request, url=http://localhost:8080/nuxeo/api/v1/path/default-domain%2Fblabla}

• Even if I put encode = true to say "don't encode my parameter, it's already encoded", it's still encoding it.

• Moreover, in retrofit, this test retrofit2.RequestBuilderTest#getWithEncodedPathParam doesn't work if we put Request request = buildRequest(Example.class, "po/ng"); with the following assertion: assertThat(request.url().toString()).isEqualTo("http://example.com/foo/bar/po/ng/");

Tomcat has restricted his URL validation for security reason: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-0450.

So I'd like to send '/' directly in my path parameter without encoding it in %2F. How can I achieve it?

Thank you!

Since parent-2.0.0-beta4, the parameter of the annotation of @Path is now working properly.
