Get input with '/' character in url input

Question

I'm trying to create a upload center application using Asp.Net MVC 4. I want to have a url like this : http://site.com/user/{username}/{path} and path is like this/dir1/subdir2/file.txt and I return it(or edit it or etc)

but I don't know how can I allow to have / character in url? because Mvc throws a security exception. can anybody Help me?

The directories aren't physical. I keep all files in one directory and save their's properties in DataBase

You should use Query strings instead. Your url will be like this: http://site.com/user/{username}/?path=/dir1/subdir2/file.txt — Mahdi Ghiasi

The feature you are looking for is called "wildcard routing" (see duplicate File path as MVC route argument for more info).

  "http://site.com/user/{username}/{*path}"
