AltostratusREST API not working when options query param contains an object name with Special Character
Hi Team,
We are having issues when options query param contains an object name REST API with Special Character * is not working for F5 V13.
Example :
- The following REST is wot working with many objects (this is required to reduce the number of hits to device)
This api is working fine.
https://localhost/mgmt/tm/gtm/wideip/a/~Common~www.app2*.com:A/stats
We knew that there was an similar issue on F5 V11 which was fixed in V12. Reference below:
https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K31404493
Is the Issue still persisting or are they different issue ?
Thanks and Regards

I don't think the options field does what you are expecting it to. See https://cdn.f5.com/websites/devcentral.f5.com/downloads/icontrol-rest-api-user-guide-16-1-0.pdf
They explain it as:
Specifies the options to a query request. This parameter takes values that are compatible with the tmsh command-line options, for example,
tmsh list apm oauth token-details db-instance /Common/oauth-api-db
is equal to
https://localhost/mgmt/tm/apm/oauth/tokendetails?options="db-instance","/Common/oauth-api-db"
or
https://localhost/mgmt/tm/apm/oauth/tokendetails?options="db-instance"+"/Common/oauth-api-db".
