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.

    no, the purpose of escaping a question mark is so that you don't use it as the query string delimiter.

  • @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?

    clients sending requests like that are breaking http. you could probably write a middlewear but you should just force your clients to follow http
