    @GetMapping(value = "/{name:.+}")
    public User getUser(@PathVariable String name)  {
        return userService.getUserByEmail(name);
    }

@Service
public class UserServiceImpl implements UserService {
    private final UserRepository userRepository;


    public UserServiceImpl(UserRepository userRepository) {

Try adding, value in pathVariable in the controller:

The content in bracket is a regex so it should work.

@GetMapping("/statusByEmail/{email:.+}/")
public String statusByEmail(@PathVariable(value = "email") String email){
  //code
}

And from the postman/rest-client

Get http://mywebhook.com/statusByEmail/abc.test@gmail.com/

If this doesn't work try to give the email in URLEncoded format: The problem might be due to the multiple . in the request Eg: alireza.ca%40gmail.com

OR

You can set Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded to automatically do the encoding of the url

Hopefully, this should work.

thanks .just add slash (/) end of {email:.+}/ and my problem solved ,but i don't understand why must add slash end of it. — alireza rayani, May 31 '20 at 08:57
