what version are you using ? both those notations should work ok (just
tested in latest trunk and 1.99.7)
Web2py does not have a problem with appended vars, it's only that if you do
URL('something', 'othersomething') othersomething is escaped (correctly).
Then response.include_files() tries to embed those in web2py_ajax (at least
in recent scaffolding apps) and it checks for the file extension of the
file to write the correct tags in the head.
If the URL is generated with vars or if you append the path without using
the URL function it should be ok.
Please check also that you have response.optimize_css & co. disabled: they
somewhat cache around your files for some time. That implementation is
buggy in my POV.
