Webservices API config component: Component with numbers in name get code 404 when using route path v1/config/com_first2second
Pull Request for Issue #45780.
Summary of Changes
The get and patch routes input restricts the component name. The input of component names were validated using
regex [A-Za-z_]+. This excluded components with numbers in their name, such as j2xml or something2.
The names are now tested by [A-Za-z0-9_]+
Testing Instructions
Attached is a bare component with config and menu
com_comp2test.zip
Install this component and use curl/postman with API path "v1/config/com_comp2test"
You should be familiar with Joomla API calls and Joomla tokens.
