I believe he/she meant that not every character is allowed in a regex,
so you can't just generate a random string made up of any characters.
You must use a restricted character set.
I think he means you can't use characters like '/' since they have
special meanings in HTTP. But you can translate them to the percent-hex
notation ( '/' becomes %2F ) before you use them.

Programming is as much about organization and communication

I like Perl; it's the only language where you can bless your
