App Config resource manager API to create or update Key Values is giving 404 error when the key has a forward slash in it.

https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.AppConfiguration/configurationStores/{configStoreName}/keyValues/Test%2F123?api-version=2024-05-01

This gives 404, since the Test%2F123 gets decoded to Test/123 before reaching its controller and path /KeyValues/Test/123 is not found.

This completely block feature flag operations because feature flag key requires a forward slash in it, .appconfig.featureflag/{FFKey}

Hi @Athi Narayanan Jeyaraj The API call you are trying to use is meant for use in ARM template deployments alone. If you are trying hit the API with a PUT call, it will likely fail.

There is another API in the data plane which lets you create a Key-Value under feature flag. Try the following API end point

PUT {endpoint}/kv/{key}?api-version=2023-11-01

For the key, you can pass a value similar to this .appconfig.featureflag%2Ftest Refer the documentation of the API endpoint Put Key Value for additional details.

Hi @LeelaRajeshSayana-MSFT
Thanks for your response.
We have been using Azure.Resourcemanager APIs through the SDK for managing our azure resources. Put call to that URL has been working fine for key-values, we are encountering the issue only when there is a forward slash in the key or label.

Since the API is exposed outside Resource Manager Key Values - Create Or Update and also the SDK AppConfigurationKeyValueCollection.CreateOrUpdateAsync is available for external use, it would be great if this gets fixed.

As for this fix, if you are using azure app service to host the api this might be the fix Azure decoding URL
