Question

I am trying to serve blobs, am using Webapp2. I’ve followed the tutorial at https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/blobstore/overview

However, I get a 404 error when accessing something like /serve/5VxklPAO0WRbnRtVcb7SJA==

I never get to the ServeHandler. I believe this is because the regex I have in the Webapp2 route doesn’t match what comes after the serve/ part of the URL. This is what I have in the main.py file:
webapp2.Route(r'/serve/([^/]+)?', 'ServeHandler')

If I remove the blob key and the corresponding regex from the Webapp2 route, I hit my ServeHandler.

Thanks for any regex help! 🙂

I use:

webapp2.Route(r'/serve/<:([^/]+)?>', handler=ServeHandler),           # helper to process upload
