Here is a test I've just run: def test(): url = URL('cart','test2',args=['a b c 1 3 2 $ % ( ) !'],vars={'oops':'1 3 5 a s i t ! @ # $ %'}) redirect(url)
def test2(): str1 = request.args[0] str2 = request.vars['oops'] return locals() Here is what it displays as a result: {{extend 'layout.html'}} {{=str1}} <br /> {{=str2}} a_b_c_1_3_2__________ 1 3 5 a s i t ! @ # $ % Obviously, this proves that you're right, and my mistake in the beginning was that I didn't try vars - I simply tried args, and saw right away that args distorts the string. I mistakenly assumed that vars works the same way - and didn't even try it. This is how I got into conversion business... Anyway, thank you very much for all your help and for patience!
