I am trying to invoke a REST service which has a special character in its path params. The rest url looks like,
rest\fetchDetails\[1,2,3]
I am just invoking it using $http like,
$http.get('rest\fetchDetails\[1,2,3]');
It is not working and when I debug it using firebug I can see the url is sent as
rest\fetchDetails\%5B1,2,3%5D
Is there any way to send '[' and ']' when invoking $http calls?
Solution 1:
Try with post request and pass params in Post Request.
Solution 2:
'[]' are special characters for URL. So it will be encoded.
If you want to decode this are your server code you can do it.
You are actually sending '[' and ']', however they are being url-encoded by the $http.get method. The url-encoding is necessary because the HTTP standard only allows some characters (alpha-numeric plus some) to be sent non-url-encoded.
BTW, I assume the backslashes () in your URL are regular slashes (/) since otherwise they too would be url-encoded.
