Hi Everyone,

I'm an absolute noob to both node.js and express however have been
getting to crips and have formed a bit of a kool app however I do have
one little problem.

I am not using my node.js server directly I am accessing it through
JQuery on a Nginx server and I access it like so
"129.129.129.393:8124/?username=sam&someotherpoo=this".

It is with complicated urls like this that I start to get a problem. I
can do "/sam/this" but then I get problems with defineing the url
within the code and how express gets the url.

My current understanding is:

get(/:user/:something,function()

would get me /sam/this out of the url but how can I use proper gets
within a url that I can uniquely identify?

I mean what happens if I have another url that needs to be /post/this
and would have the same structure within the express code as the /sam/
this url?

Really what im looking for is a way to put a top level router that can
grab the url in it's raw form and operate on it to clean it up and
shove it to it's correct path. I am however unsure if that can be done
and I have to use /sam/this style urls. I know this sounds kinda weird
and probably I ain't explained it well but hopefully you'll understand
what I'm trying to do.

Also is there a api documentation for express anywhere all I see if
basic stuff I don't see a method by method/function documentation of
the framework?
