How can I receive percent encoded slashes with Django on App Engine?
- by J. Frankenstein
I'm using Django with Google's App Engine.
I want to send information to the server with percent encoded slashes. A request like http:/localhost/turtle/waxy%2Fsmooth that would match against a URL like r'^/turtle/(?P<type>([A-Za-z]|%2F)+)$'. The request gets to the server intact, but sometime before it is compared against the regex the %2F is converted into a forward slash.
What can I do to stop the %2Fs from being converted into forward slashes? Thanks!
