I need to match this route in my ASP MVC application:

http://localhost/<itemName>/details

When the item name has illegal characters, for example the % symbol, the following URL will blow up:

(1) http://localhost/item%25Name/Details

In this case the correct URL would be:

(2) http://localhost/Details/?item=item%25Name

Is it possible to define routes in RegisterRoutes to match normal routes to (1), and routes with the % symbol in the item name, to (2)?

Thanks in advance

    Here is what I would recommend you:

    1. For everything that is part of the query string you don’t have to worry. It’s not necessary to do any special routing.
    2. For everything that goes into the path part of the url you could filter dangerous characters. Here’s how this is done on StackOverflow with question titles in the url for example.
