This is a big can of worms. Web2py restrict allowed chars in the url
because they may be used to build file paths and we want to avoid
problems with incompatible filesystems. Which chars should be allowed,
which ones no? So far we took a conservative approach.
Allowing any char: ((.+)) can result in security issues.
If you really need this you can use routes
routes_is=[('/app/ctrl/func/$anything','/app/ctrl/func?filename=
$anything')]
and use vars instead of args
