REST api calls with double slash in their URIs are failing

Products

• VMware NSX for vSphere

Issue/Introduction

• REST api calls are failing with ERROR 500: Internal Server Error.
  
  

Environment

VMware NSX for vSphere 6.4.x

Cause

This is an expected change in behaviour from NSX-v 6.4.5 and above.

Resolution

This is working as designed.

The API client should not use double or consecutive slashes in the invoked APIs.
