I am trying to escape SLASH in URL. Lets say, I would like to pass "1/2 inch steel pipe" as a URL parameter. Here is the URL below...

http://localhost/Product/1/2 inch steel pipe

Product/ is an action and "1/2 inch steel pipe" is the parameter. Because of the SLASH between 1 and 2, It looks for a Action named as "1". Therefore, it throws "HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found"

Is there an excape character for SLASH? any suggestions?

%2f represents a slash: http://stackoverflow.com/a/11236038/1661209 I think you should encode your url, or think of a url-safe querystring parameter. – Max Jan 03 '17 at 13:57
Why not use /half-inch-steel-pipe? – jimmy Jan 03 '17 at 13:59

He probably has no control over the product titles (Or they're externally provided) – Bart Enkelaar Jan 03 '17 at 14:04
