REST API Delete operation passing URL as a parameter

Question

I have a rest subscriber resource for which i would need to delete a subscriber if it matches the criteria of topic-name,country,lob and url.

http://localhost:8080/subscriber/topics/ {topic-name}/{country}/{lob}/{url}

how should i send the request for the delete resource with URL escaping the special characters??

Sample below:

http://localhost:8080/subscriber/topics/FNOL/UK/mariane/https://endpoint.com

Answer 1

The {url} path segment needs to be encoded.

http://localhost:8080/subscriber/topics/FNOL/UK/mariane/https%3A%2F%2Fendpoint.com
