Finch: how can i define Endpoint with param in the middle

Question

i am trying to define an Endpoint with param in the middle.

something similar to:

get("foo" :: param("id") :: "goo")

so, i can call it with the following rest call:

http://mydomain/foo?id=99/goo

but, for some reason, it doesn't work.

any idea ?

thanks, Eran.

In your get("foo" :: param("id") :: "goo") handler, this "foo" :: param("id") :: "goo" is is called route path.

And this param("id") is actually a path-parameter and not a query-parameter.

Standard URL scheme looks like following,

scheme:[//[user[:password]@]host[:port]][/path][?query][#fragment]

path-parameters are actually not part of standard URL scheme but are extracted from path part of URL using regular expression matching by modern http frameworks.

So... you need to access it with http url - http://mydomain/foo/99/goo
