unable to selectively remove query parameters with asterisk in them about trurl

[bagder]

Browsers don't follow RFC 3986, they do their own thing.

I suggest identifying %2a with *, which currently would only match a literal %2a in the original URI, as a workaround.

I don't follow. Can you show with an example use case what you mean?

I mean removing *=0 when %2a is requested to be removed.

[bagder]

Supporting %2a for that seems a little weird unless we support the entire thing percent encoded, but then that might be odd as well.

What if we just allow backslash escaping, the way it is a little more traditionally done? Like: --trim 'query=\*' ?

[bagder]

Actually, a quirky work-around that already works is this: --trim 'query=**' since it will make a match of all query pairs that begin with *...

this seems like the most intuitive approach -- I don't think I ever would have tried query=** to solve this.
