Tadayoshi Sato commented on CAMEL-12982: ---------------------------------------- I understand that diverging ideas without clear needs isn't good at this moment. Meanwhile, at least there is a need that a user occasionally wants to use RAW values like {{foo)&+bar}} in the URI, so let's go back and stick to this original request and support RAW{} syntax to solve it. A pull req will follow soon. While working on the fix, I learned the current limitations (including my fix) of RAW syntax handling in Camel. Let me write them down here: Currently Camel supports RAW() syntax in two parts of the endpoint URI: 1) query part and 2) host/path part. # Query part: e.g. {{?password=RAW(p+?%w0rd)&username=scott}} ** In this part almost every character is allowed, including ')' and '}'. If you want to use ')&' or '}&' inside RAW then use the other brackets, i.e. RAW{..} for ')&' and RAW(..) for '}&'. ** RAW can be used only in the value of a query. A key cannot be notated with RAW. If you use RAW in value, use it entirely. Partial usage such as {{password=RAW(%%%)bar&...}} is not allowed. ** Implementation details: The query scanner detects the occurrence of ')&' or '}&' as the closing of each RAW token. # Host/path part: e.g. {{mock:RAW(se+ret)+language:xpath:/order/@uri}} ** I don't know when it's useful but for some components usages of RAW syntax in the URI are allowed (e.g. mock component). ** However, unlike the query part, it's not possible to use RAW(foo)bar) or RAW{foo}bar} in this part. It's still possible to use RAW(foo}bar) and RAW{foo)bar} though. ** Implementation details: This is because the scanner cannot rely on ')&' or '}&' for the closing mark in host/path part and thus picks up the first occurrence of the closing bracket as the closing. > Add support for alternative RAW() syntax > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: CAMEL-12982 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-12982 > Project: Camel > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: camel-core > Reporter: Claus Ibsen > Assignee: Tadayoshi Sato > Priority: Major > Fix For: 3.0.0, 2.24.0 > > > In some edge case you may have a password=foo)+bar which you want to use > as-is.
