space in path regex not working

[chesstrian]

Hi guys,

I have this route:

router.get('/service/:parameter([a-z\\d-. ]+)', function(req, res) {
  res.json({param: req.params.parameter});
});

My problem is when I try in the browser something with space in parameter, I get 404. Anything else works. I tried using \\s instead of space.

Any help will be appreciate.

Regular expressions match on the URL and since it is impossible to have a space in your URL, it will never match. You have to match against %20.

Basically a duplicate of #2511
