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.
