I have essentially the same issue as this guy:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4241484/use-djangos-url-template-tag-
with-special-characters
{{{
# In urls.py:
url(r'^something/(?P<title>[^/]*)/something/else$', views.something,
name='something'),
# In a template:
<a href="{% url something page.title %}">Some link</a>
}}}
Here, `page.title` is a completely free-form string that might contain any
characters, including forward slashes. I want to encode it completely. The
current url `reverse()` code will quote any parameters using Django's
`urlquote`, which will call Python's `quote`, which will encode all
special characters, except the slash (and `_.-`).
https://github.com/django/django/blob/91afc00513bd2fa6302ea2be35e1f842cbd5fd38/django/core/urlresolvers.py#L459
There is no hook or option to make url reverse encode the slash while
building the URL. We can't pre-encode the slash either, as it will lead to
double-encoding the slashes (requiring an extra decoding step inside the
view). So, there is no straightforward way to build a URL while encoding
the slashes from args.
My suggestion is to change the behavior of url reverse to also encode
forward slashes. Or, at least, give some flexibility when encoding the
URL.
