Laravel 8 Encoded Forward Slashes

Question

Laravel 8 documentation says that I can use forward slashes as part of an URL parameter:

It's not working for me. I did:

Route::get('/testslash/{param}', function($param) {
    return $param;
})->where('param', '.*');

Calling it with /testslash/test%2Ftest

Results in a 404 page not found.

When using a parameter without slash, the page is loaded showing the parameter value as expected.

Do I maybe have to set another particular laravel option to make this work?

I don't see a problem in the code. I, in fact, tried the same function, and it worked very well at my end. Do you have any configuration which can lead to this issue? — Rakesh Kumar, Jan 19 '22 at 16:10
@FaizanAli the parameter contains the slashes in urlencoded form (%2F). And it is the last route segment. — drakanor, Jan 19 '22 at 16:14
@RakeshKumar Not in Laravel. My Apache2 vhost config looks like this (as recommended for Laravel): RewriteEngine On # Handle Authorization Header .... # Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder... RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)/$ RewriteRule ^ %1 [L,R=301] # Send Requests To Front Controller... RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^ index.php [L] — drakanor, Jan 19 '22 at 16:23
Are you using Apache? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4390436/need-to-allow-encoded-slashes-on-apache — Álvaro González, Jan 19 '22 at 16:57
@ÁlvaroGonzález Yes I do. Thanks for the link, I'll try the NE flag for RewriteRule next time I'm on the server. — drakanor, Jan 20 '22 at 17:13

I tried this in my laravel 8 project. You should pass as param, the Slash (/) not it's encoding 2%F.

Route::get('/testslash/{param}', function($param) {
    return $param;
})->where('param', '.*');

so the param you pass is test/test and not test2%Ftest.

That's not what I want to do. The slash is part of the url parameter and not a url delimiter and is therefore encoded. – drakanor Jan 20 '22 at 17:10
