When it's an absolute path, it must start with a protocol or a parameterized segment (otherwise the parse cannot tell if it's absolute or relative)\n\n**Example 1: Relative path segments**\n\n```java\n@Head(\"subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Compute/\"\n     + \"virtualMachines/{vmName}\")\n boolean checkNameAvailability(@PathParam(\"resourceGroupName\") String rgName,\n     @PathParam(\"vmName\") String vmName,\n     @PathParam(\"subscriptionId\") String subscriptionId);\n```\n\n**Example 2: Absolute path segment**\n\n```java\n@Head(\"{storageAccountId}\")\n boolean checkNameAvailability(@PathParam(\"storageAccountId\") String storageAccountId);\n```"
