Route does not match params with accent letters

[lfkpoa]

Hi,

I'm trying to use RouterNanoHTTPD and define a route like: addRoute("/api/:schema/:table", SqlTableScanHandler.class); However, it does not match when the url has non ascii characters (accent characters), like in: http://localhost:8080/api/user/joão Looking into the source code I noticed that the regexp pattern that replaces the params does not allow it. The pattern is: ([A-Za-z0-9\\-\\._~:/?#\\[\\]@!\\$&'\\(\\)\\*\\+,;=\\s]+) I wonder why not replace by a simple pattern that accepts any characters like: (.+?) Or eventually by a pattern that accepts all characters except for some that may not be allowed?

First of all, I'm really glad that this seems to be an HTTP library of choice in the land of the Tugas 😃 👍

That being said, what we must do is check the appropriate RFCs (groan) and see what we should be doing in this case, then fix everything that has been half-assed (spoiler: probably a lot of stuff, NanoHTTPD was always mostly developed that way)

Do you want to look into that? (RFCs are boring, but you might learn a few interesting things)
