Hi Shaun, I agree on your suggestions related to the regexp. The thing is we _have_ tried to achieve a more fine grained filter by matching in the $path related segment app/"anything but the word input"/input. Unfortunately according to my knowledge this requires fiddling with positive lookahead expressions. We haven't been able to make them work in RESTXQ. We hoped that being /app/"anything"/input/ more specific than /app/"anything"/, the former would ha been preferred. But it doesn't seem to work like that. Regards, Marco.

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.
