The **kwargs part is easy (even easier if you don't care about image
maps):
image_map_pattern = re.compile(r"[0-9]+,[0-9]+")
def parse_query_string(query_string, keep_blank_values=True):
"""Build a params dictionary from a query_string."""
if image_map_pattern.match(query_string):
# Server-side image map. Map the coords to 'x' and 'y'
# (like CGI::Request does).
pm = query_string.split(",")
pm = {'x': int(pm[0]), 'y': int(pm[1])}
else:
pm = cgi.parse_qs(query_string, keep_blank_values)
for key, val in pm.items():
if len(val) == 1:
pm[key] = val[0]
return pm
The *args part is very nasty and depends on the arrangement of your
controllers. But you might be able to use mapPathToObject (CP 2.1; for
CP 2.2 use cherrypy.request.mapPathToObject) to find which exposed
callable will be used.
