Description

My 5.0.8 ActiveMQ queue is named queue/andburn. Using

curl -u admin:admin -d 'body="Aardvark"' "http://localhost:8161/api/message/queue/andburn?type=queue"

or

curl -u admin:admin -d 'body="Aardvark"' 'http://localhost:8161/api/message/queue/andburn?type=queue'

creates a new queue queue.andburn. When I escape / like \/ I get queue\.andburn. When I omit type=queue I don't see my message added to my existing queue. Same when I use / or %2F to represent slashes.

Note: all escaping was done after queue in the URI, e.g.

"http://localhost:8161/api/message/queue\/andburn?type=queue"

The ActiveMQ REST page was not helpful in addressing this.
This is also happening when sending requests to ActiveMQ via a Ruby script using the RestClient gem.

require 'rest_client'
require 'rubygems'

@user = 'admin'
@pass = 'admin'
@host = 'localhost'
@port = '8161'

@queue = "queue/andburn"
@post_ws = "/api/message/#{@queue}?type=queue"

payload = "some_topic"
url = "http://#{@user}:#{@pass}@#{@host}:#{@port}#{@post_ws}"

response = RestClient.post(url, 'body' => payload)
