Django not parsing query string if the question mark is escaped
0 Shouldn't Django be able to parse an escaped query string like so: localhost:8000/sampleurl/myurl%3Fkey=value like it was this: localhost:8000/sampleurl/myrurl?key=value Instead I'm getting a 404. This is the URL: url(r'^sampleurl/(?P<slug>[-w]+)/$', ... I was able to partially solve it by setting the url like so: url(r'^sampleurl(?P<slug>[-w]+)(.*?)$', ... But doesn't work 100% and it seems unnecessary. django query-string django-urls share | improve this question asked Nov 14 '18 at 22:14 panosl panosl 584 1 6 14 2 no, the purpose of escaping a question mark is so that you don't use it as the query string delimiter. – bryan60 Nov 14 '18 at 22:17 @bryan60 Some clients request it like that (ie, imagine an app requesting the url like the), is there a setting on Django (middleware) or apache, or will I need to solve that at a view level? – panosl Nov 14 '18
