You can use a query parameter to use slashes without the need to encode
them:
/controller/action?myvar=/foo/bar
In your controller you can access it like a route param:
$myvar = $this->_request->getParam('myvar');
It's not as pretty as it would be without the ? but it's a lot prettier than
using base64 or dashes.
