Split-Path is reversing URL

[mwstg]

Get-VMCNotificationPreference fails to parse the URL because the variable notifPreURL converts the first half of the URL to \ like

https:\vmc.vmware.com\api\notification/loggedin/user/preferences

due to the split-path function on line 756.

What operating system are you running this from? I'm not seeing this issues (MacOS) and technically it shouldn't matter on OS

The URL should have all forward slashes /

# $global:vmcNotificationGWConnection.Server2
https://vmc.vmware.com/api/notification/xxxxxxxx

# $global:vmcNotificationGWConnection.Server2 | Split-Path
https://vmc.vmware.com/api/notification

If you look at the code, it doesn't use any back slashes \ - https://github.com/lamw/VMware.VMC.Notification/blob/master/VMware.VMC.Notification.psm1#L836

I'm in windows. A few others appear to have the same issue with split-path reversing slashes with urls. It's easy for me to replicate it with a simple test. Here is someone with same issue. A reply suggest this is normal for split-path which doesn't support urls but only file paths. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73608732/extract-left-part-of-http-uri-containing-scheme-host-and-port-everything-befor Sent from Nine Work<http://www.9folders.com/>
