The below Sinatra code works with URLs like:

/c/blahblah

and

/c/http://blah.com/something.php
or
/c/google.com

But doesn't work with:

/c/http://google.com?id=47&q=blahblah

all you get shown is:

"http://google.com" in the above case.

How can I get all of the values given in the URL that I'm giving to the app ??

test.rb

require 'rubygems'
require 'sinatra'
require 'haml'

set :haml, {:format => :html5 }

get '/' do
#  haml "%p Hello whirled, it's: #{Time.now} on this server."
  @foo = Time.now
  haml :index
end

# straight grabbing what's after the slash - breaks if "http://" is present
get '/c/:url' do
  haml "%p You entered the URL #{params[:url]}."
end

# grabbing using regex to strip out the protocol string
get %r{/c/(http:\/\/)(.*)} do
  haml "%p You entered the URL #{params[:captures][1]}."
end

# grabbing what's after the slash with a * operator - still doesn't get parameterised URLs (something.com?id=47)
get '/c/*' do
  haml "%p You entered the URL #{params[:splat].to_s}."
end

# straight to the about page
get '/about' do
  haml :about
end
