How to handle requests that contain forward slashes?

Question

My URL request is http://localhost:8080/login/verify/212,32,/cntv5tag07rmy791wbme7xa8x,/SSNZclzqhhH7v6uHIkUsIcPusKo=

I need get the following part: **212,32,/cntv5tag07rmy791wbme7xa8x,/SSNZclzqhhH7v6uHIkUsIcPusKo=**.

The following code doesn't work:

@RequestMapping(value = "/login/verify/{request:.+}", method = RequestMethod.POST, produces = {"application/json;charset=UTF-8"})
    public ResponseEntity verifyLogin(@PathVariable(value = "request") String request)
            throws InvalidSignatureException
    {
}

Error: HTTP Status 404.

Spring can't handle this request.

Can you write it as: (http://localhost:8080/login/verify/212/32/cntv5tag07rmy791wbme7xa8x,/SSNZclzqhhH7v6uHIkUsIcPusKo=) ? where "212", "32" and "cntv5tag07rmy791wbme7xa8x,/SSNZclzqhhH7v6uHIkUsIcPusKo=" will be different parameters. Do you want so? — Afridi, May 17 '17 at 04:35
Thanks for answer. No, i need parse entire string, which contain 4 parametrs, divided ",". Sometimes the 4 parameter can contain slash (/) — FranzF, May 17 '17 at 04:46

To match the uri with the slashes, use the double *

@RequestMapping(value = "/login/verify/**",

Then, in the body to get the value, you will use

String str = (String) request.getAttribute(HandlerMapping.PATH_WITHIN_HANDLER_MAPPING_ATTRIBUTE)

Sample code:

@RequestMapping(value = "/login/verify/**", method = RequestMethod.POST, produces = {"application/json;charset=UTF-8"}) 
public ResponseEntity verifyLogin(HttpServletRequest httpServletRequest) throws InvalidSignatureException {
    String str = (String) request.getAttribute( HandlerMapping.PATH_WITHIN_HANDLER_MAPPING_ATTRIBUTE)
}

Exactly! Thanks. Where request is HttpServletRequest. @RequestMapping(value = "/login/verify/**", method = RequestMethod.POST, produces = {"application/json;charset=UTF-8"}) public ResponseEntity verifyLogin(HttpServletRequest httpServletRequest) throws InvalidSignatureException {String str = (String) request.getAttribute( HandlerMapping.PATH_WITHIN_HANDLER_MAPPING_ATTRIBUTE)} – FranzF May 17 '17 at 06:48

Try this URL instead: http://localhost:8080/login/verify?req=212,32,/cntv5tag07rmy791wbme7xa8x,/SSNZclzqhhH7v6uHIkUsIcPusKo=

And handle it like this:

@RequestMapping("/login/verify")
public String test(@RequestParam("req") String data) {
    //'data' will contains '212,32,/cntv5tag07rmy791wbme7xa8x,/SSNZclzqhhH7v6uHIkUsIcPusKo='
   String params[] = data.split(",");
}

I can't, the request is not formed by me. I can't use query parametrs – FranzF May 17 '17 at 06:20

You have forward slashes in your url and those strings will be considered as path variables. Try the following code if there is a possibility that you'll have only 3 path variables. Please have a look at here and here

@RequestMapping(value = {"/login/verify/{string1:.+}",
        "/login/verify/{string1:.+}/{string2:.+}",
        "/login/verify/{string1:.+}/{string2:.+}/{string3:.+}"}, method = RequestMethod.POST)
  public ResponseEntity verifyLogin(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse httpresponse, 
        @PathVariable("string1") String string1,
        @PathVariable("string2") String string2,
        @PathVariable("string3") String string3) {
    System.out.println("***************************************************I am called: "+string1+" "+string2+" "+string3);

}

I know about this solution, but in this case i get string1 = 212, string2 =32, string3 = cntv5tag07rmy791wbme7xa8x, string4 = SSNZclzqhhH7v6uHIkUsIcPusKo=. string 3 and string4 without slash(/), i need extra condition in code for handle this problem in this case – FranzF May 17 '17 at 06:32
You can use something like this, @RequestMapping("/login/verify/**"), use request.getRequestURI() and then parse it. – Gopinath May 17 '17 at 06:51
