By default, characters in args that do not match the '[^\w/.@=-]' regular expression are replaced with underscores. To override that behavior, there are two options:
1. In routes.py, set routes_apps_raw to a list of applications that will handle their own args parsing. In those apps, the entire args part of the URL (everything in path_info after /app/controller/function) will be available in request.raw_args, and you will have to parse it yourself. 2. Use the parameter-based rewrite system and specify args_match to suit your needs (the default args_match regex is '([\w@ =-]|(?<=[\w@ -])[.])*$'.
