How to fix Apigee automatically changing incoming url which has empty path params

[#1]

How to avoid apigee changing the incoming url?

when the incoming url has some empty path params , apigee automatically strips the empty path param and changes the incoming url .

eg: For a sample url as below

 https://apigeedomain/path1/{pathParam1}/path2/{pathparam2}/path3

if the incoming request url has emptyParam 'pathparam2' like below

https://apigeedomain/path1/abc/path2//path3

Apigee automatically converts the incoming url as below stripping the empty pathparams

 https://apigeedomain/path1/abc/path2/path3
