How to accept strings with special characters in them?

[peng...@gmail.com]

I use the following bottle code.

@route('/hello/<name>')

def index(name):
    print name
    return template('<b>Hello {{name}}</b>!', name=name)

run(host='localhost', port=8080)

Neither of the following wget command will return a name with slash in it. Does anybody know how to allow it take strings with special characters like slashes? Thanks.

$ wget -qO- http://localhost:8080/hello/abc/x
$ wget -qO- http://localhost:8080/hello/abc%2Fx

use :path filter

from tutorial https://bottlepy.org/docs/dev/tutorial.html :

:path matches all characters including the slash character in a non-greedy way and can be used to match more than one path segment.

usage example in static file routing

@route('/static/<path:path>')

def callback(path):

    return static_file(path, ...)

That said, the paths /hello/abc/x and /hello/abc%2Fx are equivalent and indistinguishable on server-side.
