I'll be addressing this in the new URL rewriting mechanism. In the meantime, have a look at the raw_args option in routes.py: # specify a list of apps that bypass args-checking and use request.raw_args # #routes_apps_raw=['myapp'] #routes_apps_raw=['myapp', 'myotherapp'] This is a hack to work around the problem. If you list your app in this routing variable, request.args will be set to None, and the (mostly) unprocessed args will appear as a string in request.raw_args. You'll need to split them yourself and do whatever processing you need. Alternatively, experiment with using the query string (vars) instead of args.
