Did you restart web2py after changing routes.py? routes_apps_raw ought to do what you want. When your app is in the routes_apps_raw list, your args string (eg 'json/public_function/...') is in request.raw_args (as usual) and request.args is None. It's then the responsibility of your app (and you can do this in your model if you like) to validate and parse request.raw_args, and (if you want to) put the results in request.args as a List() object. Putting routes.py in the wrong place (it should be in the web2py root) or changing it without restarting is the most common reason for trouble with routes.py. (As an alternative you can use the parametric router and specify your own validation regex for args: args_match.) > > Kind regards! > > On Thursday, September 5, 2013 3:50:17 AM UTC+2, Marcio Andrey Oliveira wrote: > Can't you send encoded parameters (say in Bas64 or hexadecimal) and decode > them inside the methods? > > Regards. > > On Wednesday, September 4, 2013 8:24:26 PM UTC-3, Wonton wrote: > Hello everyone! > > I've developed a web2py backend which is given me problems with special chars > in URLs.
