title: Forward Slash in Angular Route Parameters
body: <p>How do I set up my routes so that my parameter can take forward slashes?</p>
  
  <p>For example: myapp.com/file/rootfolder/subfolder/myfile</p>
  
  <p>This doesn't work:</p>
  
  <pre><code>const SECTION_ROUTES: Routes = [
      { path: 'file/:path', component: FileStoreComponent }
  ];
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is having / in routing parameter values possible?</p>
  
  <p>I've read about URL approaches that use URL encoding. However, I'd like my user to be able to type the URL.</p>
