BTW... just to synchronize ourself, what the book gives as an example is
('/new_name/$anything', '/app/controller/function*/*$anything')
mind the */* part . This is the only safe way to do what people usually
want to "translate", that is the app/c/f part, while leaving args and vars
untouched. You can work around using something like you suggested, but you
already faced what the developers faced: the utter and complete disaster in
mapping what comes in .
Of course (if you think to the method a piece of code would convert this to
a regex) this just maps whatever is coming AFTER /newname/ and not what
reaches /newname (again, mind the lack of the last /).
Frankly, I'm a bit scared to suggest that your issue (i.e. being accustomed
on how web2py treats incoming urls in without arguments, which is that
calling /a/c/f is the same as /a/c/f*/*) can be easily solved by
('/new_name', '/app/controller/function')
