Pass a file path as a URL parameter in Django - django

Question

I'm using Django to create a webapp. When a user press on a certain button, it needs to pass a file path as parameter and a string parameter to one of my views. I can't simply use the parameter in the URL since the path contains several '/'. The way I have it setup right now is as follows:
parameters.py
class FilePathConverter:
regex = '^[/]'
def to_python(self, value):
value=str(value)
return value.replace("?", "/")
def to_url(self, value):
value=str(value)
return value.replace("/", "?")
urls.py
from django.urls import path
from . import views
from django.contrib import admin
from django.views import generic
from django.urls import path, register_converter
from . import converters, views
register_converter(converters.FilePathConverter, 'filepath')
urlpatterns = [
path('', views.index, name='webpanel-index'),
path('controlserver/<filepath:server_path>/<str:control>', views.index, name='controlserver'),
]
views.py
from django.shortcuts import render
from django.http import HttpResponse
from .models import Server
from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required
import subprocess
def controlserver(request, server_path, control):
if request.POST:
subprocess.call(['bash', server_path, control])
return render(request, 'index.html')
However, with this method, I get this error:
Reverse for 'controlserver' with keyword arguments '{'server_path': 'rien/', 'control': 'start'}' not found. 1 pattern(s) tried: ['controlserver/(?P<server_path>[^/]+)/(?P<control>[^/]+)$']

Answer 1

you can use Slug to resolve this patterns by :
from django.utils.text import slugify
path('controlserver/use slug .....', views.index, name='controlserver'),
but you need to put slug at views and templates So check this list of slug and pk :
