Invalid Malformed URL

See original GitHub issue

The path of a URL contains a colon symbol which is causing the call to fail.

Using version com.squareup.retrofit2:retrofit:2.5.0

Code:

public interface ClientApi {
    @PUT("user:email={email}/login")
    Call<ResponseBody> login(@Path("email") String email, @Body String pass);

    @PUT("./user:email={email}/login")
    Call<ResponseBody> loginRelative(@Path("email") String email, @Body String pass);
...

Regular path Stack trace:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Malformed URL. Base: https://test.com/restapi/, Relative: user:email=me@test.com/login
        at retrofit2.RequestBuilder.get(RequestBuilder.java:221)
        at retrofit2.RequestFactory.create(RequestFactory.java:111)
        at retrofit2.OkHttpCall.createRawCall(OkHttpCall.java:190)
        at retrofit2.OkHttpCall.execute(OkHttpCall.java:173)
        at Service.login(Service.java:38)

Think the code needs to treat the relative portion of the URL like an absolute URL when parsing.

Relative path Using a retaliative path annotation ./ does not solve this issue. Stack trace:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: @Path parameters shouldn't perform path traversal ('.' or '..'):
