How can I catch absolutely all the paths from the received request? I am using the following code, however it does not work.
routes = web.RouteTableDef()
@routes.get(path='/{key}')
async def _(request):
print(request)
await self.processing_request(request=request, post=False)
@routes.post(path='/{key}')
async def _(request):
await self.processing_request(request=request, post=True)
The default regex for variable paths is [^{}/]+, i.e. it will not match forward slashes. You can specify a custom regex in the path string using {variablename:regex} syntax:
@routes.get(path="/{key:.+}")
async def _(request):
...
From the documentation:
A variable part is specified in the form {identifier}, where the identifier can be used later in a request handler to access the matched value for that part. This is done by looking up the identifier in the Request.match_info mapping ...
By default, each part matches the regular expression [^{}/]+.
You can also specify a custom regex in the form {identifier:regex}:
(disclaimer: I have not tested)
