How to handle URLs with a ":" (colon) in them

What about

put  "/registry/-/user/:user", RegistryLoginController, :edit

and then parse out

%{"user" => "org.couchdb.user:" <> user}

from the params?

That’s a known issue. Just parse the path yourself…

Thanks! This is what I ended up doing, but didn’t feel right and wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something obvious.

Wasn’t aware. This is my first time using Phoenix coming from Rails.

Yeah, and this is kind of a strange limitation in phoenix router. I’ve suffered from it in several projects too

it’s probably a very good “first issue” to submit PR for Phoenix to be fixed

I would have thought “:” was reserved for the port number?

It has a few valid meanings, like https://user:password@domain.com.

now is that tcp or http that says that cause I get it in the context of a db for example.

HTTP, afaik. Not that it’s a good idea or anything, but it’s a supported thing. Without putting much time into searching this SO has some info.
