Yes. in web2py URL are validated and special characters are not allowed (by default). Spaces are replaced with _. This can be changed by mappying parts of the URL, like the part after the comma, into a variable. Example:
http://127.0.0.1:8000/a/b/c,d you can create a file routes.py in web2py/ and in it routes_in=(('(?P<p>.*?),(?P<q>.*)':'\g<p>?other=\g<q>'),) then in app a, controller b.py and function c you can access request.vars.other which will contain 'd'.
