I want to pass a float parameter to an api using GET.

The URL should look like /api/controller/action/1.25

But I get an error because of the dot.

The API end point is in PHP and I call the URL from ReactJS.

Apart from replacing . with another character on both ends or using POST, is there any recommended solution to achieve that using GET?

Thanks, Harris

Ok, no code, but could you at least tell us the exact error you get? Do you control the API, or not? Seems like you do. – KIKO Software Mar 27 '17 at 09:00
@KIKOSoftware I get a 404 error when i put a float instead of an integer. That is probably because the browser reads the dot as a file extension. – Eristikos Mar 27 '17 at 09:07
Doesn't the API controller pick up the URL and parse it? Like you do in an .htaccess rewrite? – KIKO Software Mar 27 '17 at 09:12
