Url doesn't allow underscore,slash(:\) in value field

Question

I am developing a wcf rest service application,below is my uriTemplate.

http://localhost:50782/PhotoManager.svc/UploadPhoto/?fileName={fileName}&description={description}

Below is my url that is from client side,

http://localhost:50782/PhotoManager.svc/UploadPhoto/?fileName=001_003.jpg&description=D:\Image

But it shows error at underscore and slash.

url decoding/encoding : https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/6196h3wt(v=vs.110).aspx — AntoineLev, Feb 13 '15 at 13:38

This may be related to the QueryString parameters not being escaped properly. From JavaScript you can use the encodeURIComponent function.

encoding is definitely necessary as the URI spec does not allow underscores anywhere in the URL. Dashes are ok though. – Sam Axe Feb 19 '15 at 04:33

Check with following code in your System.ServiceModal section in Web.Config -

<endpointBehaviors>
  <behavior name="web">
    <webHttp helpEnabled="true" />
  </behavior>
  </endpointBehaviors>
