variable names with full stops

Hi there

I am having a few issues with the variables defined in my routes,
wondered if anyone could assist..

I have set up a custom route in my routes.cfm

addRoute(pattern="artist/:name_art",
         handler="artist",
         action="home");

This functions fine..

However if my :name_art variable has a full stop at the end of it,
coldbox seems to trim it off..

So /artist/M.I.A. shows the rc.name_art variable to be M.I.A instead
of M.I.A.

Would anyone know why this is occurring? And the best way to tackle
this?

Many thanks

Hmm, seems interesting and not sure about this, maybe because symbols such as . are counted. Not sure. Will have to investigate about it.
