Special chars in REST-Route

I´ve got a REST-Source which is localhost/admin/users/{userName} but my user has a '.' in it, so I can´t pass it through the route.

My Question is how to pass spezial chars through a REST-API?

I tried to escape the '.' with %2E but the RESTed extension for Firefox tells me the route does not exist.

        [HttpGet]
        [Route("users/{userName}")]
        public User GetUser(string userName)
        {
            // some logig here

            return new User(userName);
        }

I hoped to find a way to escape such chars :-/

You can add a trailing slash / to the URL if it contains a dot .:

localhost/admin/users/{userName}/

The API sees the . and thinks you're trying to access a file. Adding a trailing slash should fix this.
