Special Chars like DOTS in Express.js route?

i got the following node.js / express.js method:

开发者_Python百科app.post('/pin/save/:latitude/:longitude', function(req, res) {
...
}

the values that get assigne to latitude and longitude include dots, e.g. 16.33245 / 46.28473. the problem is, express.js tells me that it can't GET that url. removing the dots it works... any advice how i can get express to accept the dots in the route?

thanks

Do you gave a route defined for get in addition to the one for post? I tried this and it worked fine:

app.get('/test/:lat/:long', function(req, res){
  res.send("lat:" + req.params.lat + " long:" + req.params.long);
});

with:

/test/1.2/3.4

gave me:

lat:1.2 long:3.4
