How to make a url pattern that catch any url ?

[Loai Ghoraba]

Hi

I am serving some files, and I want whenever I have a url :/download/path/to/some/file to map this to a view function with path/to/some/file sent as a parameter of the function, so how could I accomplish that ?

I want a url of the following schema :

    url(r'downloads/(?P<path>\[Anything including backslashes])$', 'download_file'),

Thanks a lot.

I just go it, it is 

 

url(r'^download/(?P<path>.*)$', 'faculty.views.Main.download_file'),

Thanks :)

Just be careful to normalize the resulting path so that people don't
do things like

http://example.com/download/../../etc/passwd

Fortunately, the standard library has functions in os.path.* for
getting the absolute path, checking against leading subdirectory
paths, and the like.
