You can catch the other apps by adding route patterns that match them
before your catch-all pattern (the patterns are processed in order, and the
first match is used). Anyway, using the parametric router and specifying
the url-shortening app as the default app might be simpler:
routers = dict(
BASE = dict(
default_application = 'shortener',
default_controller = 'default',
default_function = 'index',
),
)
Then http://myapp.com/tcgata will get routed to
http://myapp.com/shortener/default/index/tcgata, and "tcgata" will be
available to the index() function in request.args(0).
