I am supposed to send a path (e.g "d:\something\something") as a parameter to GET call to WebAPI. Here is my action method in ApiController
// GET api/values
public List<image> Get(string path)
{
//return repo.getImages(@"C:\My Data\SEAGATE3TB\PICTURES");
return repo.getImages(path);
}
I am not sure how I can achieve this. Testing this in browser with url http://localhost:86/api/values/C:/My%20Data/SEAGATE3TB/PICTURES/2005
shows
Server Error in '/' Application.
A potentially dangerous Request.Path value was detected from the client (:).

How can I send a path to my controller?
