1.7.5. About REST resource identifiers

A URI is the representation of a resource that consists of a protocol, an address, and a path structure to identify a resource and optional query parameters. Because the representation of folder and partition names in TMSH often includes a forward slash (/), URI encoding of folder and partition names must use a different character to represent a forward slash in iControl®

To accommodate the forward slash in a resource name, iControl REST maps the forward slash to a tilde (~) character. When a resource name includes a forward slash (/) in its name, substitute a tilde (~) for the forward slash in the path. For example, a resource name, such as /Common/plist1, should be modified to the format shown here:

https://management-ip/mgmt/tm/security/firewall/port-list/~Common~plist1
