How to retrieve an URL from the route using @Param

I am writing an image processor proxy, similar to imageproxy, but using NestJS.

I want to declare an endpoint like this: GET /api/trim/http://your.image.url where http://your.image.url is the URL of the image that I want to transform.

In my controller, I would do something like this:

@Get('trim/:imageUrl')
  async trimCanvas(
    @Param('imageUrl') imageUrl: string,
  ): Promise<any> {
    console.log(imageUrl);
    return 'OK';
  }

However, if I make a request, the controller is never hit and, instead, I get a default 404. Any ideas on how to make this work?

By default, slashes will not be captured by the url param. You can append a regex in parentheses to your route param to change this behavior. Add a wildcard * to your param, so that it also accepts /:

@Get('trim/:imageUrl(*)')

Try it out in this codesandbox.
