# **OpenAPI Documentation Handler for `/anything/*path`**.

`HEAD` `/anything/{path:.*}`

Operation ID: `anything_path_handler`

This function exists *solely* to generate the correct OpenAPI documentation for requests to `/anything/{path:.*}` (e.g., `/anything/foo/bar`). The actual requests to these wildcard paths are handled by `anything_handler`. This separation is necessary due to current limitations in `utoipa` regarding the generation of OpenAPI specs for handlers that serve both a fixed path and a wildcard path. # Path Parameters: - `path`: The subpath captured by the wildcard (e.g., "foo/bar"). # Responses: - `200 OK`: Echoes request details for the subpath. - **Note**: This handler, if ever called directly, returns `501 Not Implemented`.

## Path parameters

- `path` (string, required) - Subpath for anything endpoint
- `path:.*` (string, required)

## Responses

- `200` - Echoes request details for subpath
