Path variable in file name does not work

[vernig]

When the path variable is part of a file name, the conversion is not possible.

For example, the path for application API is
/2010-04-01/Accounts/{AccountSid}/Applications/{Sid}.json

When converted to Postman request this become:
/2010-04-01/Accounts/:AccountSid/Applications/:Sid.json

And postman detect the path variable as :Sid.json, which is a problem since the only variable part in the url is the {Sid}.

The current solution is to use a script pre-fetch that check if the Sid path parameters ends with .json. If not, add it.

The script can be added using the following event to the request:

	"event": [
		{
			"listen": "prerequest",
			"script": {
				"exec": [
					"var pathVarSid = pm.request.url.variables.get(\"Sid.json\")",
					"if (!pathVarSid.endsWith(\".json\")) {",
					"    pm.request.url.variables.upsert({key:\"Sid.json\", value: pathVarSid + \".json\"})",
					"}"
				],
				"type": "text/javascript"
			}
		}
	],
