i use the regex based router....so i'm not up on all the options for the parametric router.
that said, 2 things come to mind: - invalid controller might return a 500? you could try that in your routes.on_error (try catching 500 errors i mean). - for web2py to be happy you'd need to rewrite the URL to not have hyphens in what gets mapped to the controller or function name (as that breaks python). remember that in web2py URLs are application/controller/function. to not raise an error your router will need to attach an application, controller, and function to each of your URLs with hyphens before they will parse without error. i hope that helps point you in the right direction.... cfh On Friday, November 2, 2012 4:18:44 AM UTC-7, Alex Benfica wrote: > > Hi people! > > I'm creating a new website using Web2py [ Version 2.0.0 (2012-06-10 > 21:17:42) dev ] on GAE in a domain where previously I had a WordPress blog! > > This blog has some urls like these: > > http://domain.com/novo-modelo/hyundai-hb-20/ > http://domain.com/carro-conceito/nanotata/testes/ > > In order to not lose the whole traffic to the old blog, it were transfered > to another domain and I need to make http 301 redirects to all of his pages! > > I'm using the following approach: > > I catch the 404 erros and verify if the request_uri is one of the urls > from the old blogs I need to redirect ( I have all urls taken from the > sitemap.xml ). > This works fine, except for urls like those before, that have hyphens in > the first "arg" as in "novo-modelo" and "carro-conceito". > > > > I did that on routes.py: > > routes_onerror = [ > (r'*/404', r'/init/httpcodes/cod404') > ] > > > And in the function cod404, I verify the URL and do the redirect if the > URL is from the old blog! > > > When the URL is > > http://domain.com/novo-modelo/hyundai-hb-20/ > > I got the error: "invalid request"... and it is not treated as 404! > > What can I do to allow web2py understand this URL as 404? > > > I tryed map_hyphen = True but had no success! > > This are the some other informations on my router.py. > > > > default_router = dict( > default_application = 'init', > applications = 'ALL', > default_controller = 'default', > controllers = 'DEFAULT', > default_function = 'index', > functions = None, > default_language = None, > languages = None, > root_static = ['favicon.ico', 'robots.txt'], > domains = None, > map_hyphen = False, > acfe_match = r'\w+$', # legal app/ctlr/fcn/ext > file_match = r'(\w+[-=./]?)+$', # legal file (path) name > args_match = r'([\w@ -]+[=.]?)+$', # legal arg in args > ) > > > > > > > # This simple router set overrides only the default application name, > # but provides full rewrite functionality. > > routers = dict( > > # base router > BASE = dict( > default_application = 'init', > ), > ) > > > --
