rest - swagger: file path in path parameter

Question

Here is my api requirement

GET http://localhost:8080/filePath/{path}

For example:

curl http://localhost:8080/filePath/home/users/user/one.txt

Here is yaml config:

parameters:
        - name: path
          in: path
          description: Todo description
          type: string
          required: true

But I'm getting 404 error. How can I use file path in path parameter?

OpenAPI 2.0 (Swagger 2.0) and OpenAPI 3.0 do not allow you to use slashes in path parameters, so you can't do that. There's an open feature request for this:
