URL disallowed characters with routes - El Forum - 11-30-2010

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hey, I had just a question about changing this in the config.php file.

Code:
$config['permitted_uri_chars'] = 'a-z 0-9~%.:_\-';

Code:
$config['permitted_uri_chars'] = '';

I know this is a security risk, but what if my routes is like this

Code:
$route['default_controller'] = "home";

$route[':any'] = "avatar/execute";

Will it be safe since the url will not point at any class or function?
If not, what characters is a security risk?

Thank you for your answers!

$route[':any'] = "avatar/execute"; -> is like having the default controller (not tested it though). And why would you do that?
