Routing with Periods / Dots / Full-Stops (.)

Hello there! Just registered here..

This is Farhan from Bangladesh. I've started using Nette framework 3.* since a few days ago. I knew about the framework for a long ago perhaps I was waiting for the 3.* release.

So, this is my actually my first attempt of using the framework. One sentence for now: Thanks for the nice & clean framework with a great amount of possibilities.

---

Anyway, here's where I'm stuck. I'm allowing users to use dots(.) in their username, so while visiting the profile page I found that it's not actually working. I need to be able to accept periods/full-stops/dots in URI but it turns out saying:

	Not Found
	The requested resource /user/test.dot was not found on this server.

---

Expected Behavior:

• User not found? Show 404 page
• Found? Render the template.

---

So far I've tried these things-

1. Added regex in the RouterFactory to validate the URI

	$router->addRoute('user/<username [a-zA-Z0-9\._]+>', 'User:viewProfile');

Result: same as before.

2. Modified the .htaccess a little just to check if it's working

	# Skip existing files
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
	RewriteRule index.php - [QSA,L,C]
	RewriteRule .* - [QSA,L]

	# Front controller
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
	RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA,L]

Result: Same as before.

3. Combined the above two
Result: Same as before.

P.S: Using nette/sandbox & project created through composer.

Any help would be much appreciated.
