URLs with slash in parameter?

by

You could use a catchall route to capture everything that follows the wiki part of the url into the id token:

routes.MapRoute(
    "Wiki",
    "wiki/{*id}",
     new { controller = "Wiki", action = "DbLookup", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);

Now if you have the following request: /wiki/AS/400 it will map to the following action on the Wiki controller:

public ActionResult DbLookup(string id)
{
    // id will equal AS/400 here
    ...
}

As far as /wiki// is concerned I believe you will get a 400 Bad Request error from the web server before this request ever reaches the ASP.NET pipeline. You may checkout the following blog post.
