Describe the issue

I found that it's possible to create a following config.yml with a fully working path url.

paths:
  path/with/slash:

response:

[0/0] [path path/with/slash] created 

The problem I'm having is that I'm not able to recreate this path via API. I've tried looking if there are any blocked characters in internal/core/api.go but I didn't find any line blocking name characters. Which leads me to believe that it's not possible to build such path when api url is: /v1/config/paths/add/:name as additional slashes make it so that it thinks it a different path.

Here is what I tried and didn't solve my problem

# Works
curl -X POST -d {} -H "application/json" localhost:9997/v1/config/paths/add/video-path

# Doesn't Work (404 page not found)
curl -X POST -d {} -H "application/json" localhost:9997/v1/config/paths/add/path/with/slash
curl -X POST -d {} -H "application/json" localhost:9997/v1/config/paths/add/path%2Fwith%2Fslash

# 200 response but no path added
curl -X POST -d {} -H "application/json" localhost:9997/v1/config/paths/add/path%5Cwith%5Cslash

# Works but doesn't work when trying to connect a client (rtsp-simple-server error: path must end with slash)
curl -X POST -d {} -H "application/json" localhost:9997/v1/config/paths/add/path.with.dot.separator

Is there any way to make it work currently, or is it possible to change url from /v1/config/paths/add and add pathName into POST data.

I think that unreserved list that is available here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding describes which characters are currently possible to use when making a path
