Hello there Marco,

This might be down to the choice of regex.

Assume $path = "path"

app/{$path=.+}

Will match 

"app/path=1234"

And

"app/path=1234/input"

Which I think would be matched by ".+" part of the expression, as "/input" would match ".+".

Kind regards

Hello all,

according to the docs this should be possible:

(: Matches all paths with "app" as first, a number as second, and
"order" as third segment :)
declare %rest:path("app/{$code=[0-9]+}/order")
 ? function page:order($full-path) { ... };

(: Matches all other all paths starting with "app/" :)
declare %rest:path("app/{$path=.+}")
 ? function page:others($path) { ... };

And it actually is... We are currently in the very unfortunate situation
where we need the following:

(: Matches anything followed by /input :)
declare %rest:path("app/{$path=.+}/input")
 ? function page:inputs($path) { ... };

(: Matches all other all paths starting with "app/" :)
declare %rest:path("app/{$path=.+}")
 ? function page:others($path) { ... };

Unfortunately this makes all the calls to be redirected to the
page:others function ... is there a motivation behind it or could it be
possible to work around that?

Thanks,

Marco.
