Not sure if routes can do that for you, but what you can do is add another
action to your controller class that does NOT return a response, but merely
calls the right action:
def view(self, username):
# whatever you do normally
and:
def legacy_view(self):
# put some checking here, send 404 if bad...
un = params.get('username')
return self.view(un)
Then you can map
http://mysite.com/profile/view?user=username
to the legacy_view in routes.
