Description

API request to load experiment when id has forward slash results in 404 not found.

For example: https://seagrid.org/api/experiments/Clone_of_Opt%2Bfreq_acetic_anhydride_SVWN%2F6-31G_964cc6c5-9167-4e2c-99e3-5d899e378fc7/

%2F is the encoded forward slash.

Apparently even though encoded properly the forward slash being decoded at some point and considered part of the URL.
