The basic problem here (or at least one of the basic problems) is the way the routes.py logic handles '?' in separating vars from the rest of the URL, and then reassembling the URL after processing. It's definitely broken for anything that encodes a question mark in args. All I was saying above is that the new logic solves a subset of problems, including spaces in args. It's definitely not a complete solution. > > > On Apr 4, 6:55 pm, Jonathan Lundell <jlund...@pobox.com> wrote: >> On Apr 4, 2010, at 4:37 PM, DenesL wrote: >> >>> It should be noted that there was some work done towards enabling an >>> alternate setting that would allow the developer access to the >>> unchanged (raw) args but it has not been finished yet. >> >>> This would allow any character set in args which I believe mainly >>> concerns non-English speaking developers/users. >> >>> If any of you feel, as I do, that this is important please voice your >>> concern. >> >> The raw args feature is available in the current release.
