Q:

Uploading an image to Google appengine using Robospice with Retrofit

I'm trying to use Robospice with Retrofit to upload an image to my Google appengine blobstore. 
I can get the upload URL provided by GAE, but when I try to send the URL with the image as a Multipart POST I get an exception:

My API interface
public interface MyApi {
    @Multipart
    @POST("/{uploadurl}")
    MyImage uploadImage(
            @Path("uploadurl") String uploadurl,
            @Part("stream") long streamId,
            @Part("image") TypedFile image);
}

My Retrofit Gson Spice Service
public class MyService extends RetrofitGsonSpiceService {

    private final static String BASE_URL = "theinternet";

    @Override
    protected String getServerUrl() {
        return BASE_URL;
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        addRetrofitInterface(MyApi.class);
    }

}

My Retrofit Spice Request class
public class UploadImage extends RetrofitSpiceRequest<MyImage, MyApi> {

    private final String uploadurl;
    private final long streamId;
    private final TypedFile image;

    public UploadImage(String uploadurl, long streamId, File image) {
            super(MyImage.class, MyApi.class);
            this.uploadurl = uploadurl;
            this.streamId = streamId;
            this.image = new TypedFile("image/jpeg", image);
    }

    @Override
    public MyImage loadDataFromNetwork() throws Exception {
        return getService().uploadImage(uploadurl, streamId, image);
    }
}

My execute call
UploadImage upload = new UploadImage(uploadUrl, streamId, file);
getSpiceManager().execute(upload, new MyImageUploadListener());

A:

Try to use @EncodedPath instead of @Path and do URL encoding yourself.  
public interface MyApi {

    @Multipart
    @POST("/{uploadurl}")
    MyImage uploadImage(@EncodedPath("uploadurl") String uploadUrlEncoded,
            ... );
}

To deal with "%2F" issue i would use next snippet
String encodedValue = URLEncoder.encode(String.valueOf(uploadUrl), "UTF-8");
// URLEncoder encodes for use as a query parameter.  Path encoding uses %20 to
// encode spaces rather than +.  Query encoding difference specified in HTML spec. 
// Any remaining plus signs represent spaces as already URLEncoded. 
encodedValue = encodedValue.replace("+", "%20");
String uploadUrlEncoded = encodedValue.replace("%2F", "/");
