You cannot use `/` in the input parameter, since the controller will think this is a different resource. Instead, you need to escape the slashes as %2F. – DV82XL Nov 28 '20 at 16:58
Please give an example . what is %2F – hamed nikbakht Nov 28 '20 at 17:26
/endpoint?userID=123%2F4324%2F234 – DV82XL Nov 28 '20 at 18:28
As well as reading the linked duplicate question, you can read about [percent encoding](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding) to understand why that `%2F` is needed. – andrewJames Nov 28 '20 at 22:05
