Discussion:
Getting a 400 bad request instead of 404 for urls with hyphens?

I am trying to get error handling for page not found errors working. I'm
using the following example:

http://www.web2pyslices.com/slice/show/1529/custom-error-routing

This seems to be working for URLs such as

www.example.com/asdf
www.example.com/longurlthatdoesnotexit?_next=/

I get my 404 page.

However as soon as I put a hyphen (or dash) in the URL

www.example.com/as-df

I get a 400 BAD REQUEST error and the page just says "invalid request"

How can I fix this so it behaves as expected and returns a 404 error?

I think it's interpreting as-df as the app name, which by default is not
allowed to contain hyphens. Your error handler can simply check for 400
codes and then in turn send a response with a 404.
