When using dotted urls, like for example:

http://host/whois/10.0.0.1

and capturing it with a Map("/whois/{ip}...") the captured variable only gets the first part, ignoring anything after the first dot.

This is because Goweb cares about file extensions. So it leaves you with a few options:

don't use the PathParam feature, instead, parse the request path yourself
add a segment after the IP Address, this works: whois/10.0.0.1/something - the value would be the full IP, because Goweb knows the dots aren't part of a file extension

Ok thanks, I will proceed parsing the path myself.
