Every URL an app-engine app handles is public since it appears in the
URL bar in the browser.   So even if it begins with _ or is strangely
spelled a user could use the back button or history and directly edit
a URL, then submit it and likely cause an error unless everything is
validated.

Is it good practice to validate every piece of data coming in to a URL
handler by GET or POST and not assume anything?   Or accept a small
number of errors when people do stupid things.    I can certainly
validate everything but it obscures the code.

Thanks
