Please consider querystring support in 2.x

I dont know whats the fuss about. Enabling query strings does NOT mean that you lose segments. Thats bullcrap as Dr.Phil would say. So they can co-exist and you get the goodies from both worlds. For example I have couple of ecommercesites where I need query strings because most payment gateways return stuff using that. There is no problem whatsoever to use it. For example one of gateways it will return to my shop like this:

http://www.mydomain.com/checkout/success...METHOD=123

So there you have perfect example of having segments (controller Checkout with method success with parameter gateway_name) and querystring which I can access using $this->input->get('ORDER_ID') etc.

I too think that it could easily be enabled by default because theres no harm in that. But its just a config setting(s) that can be enabled when needed(and 95% of the time its not needed).

Oh yeah, this atleast works with apache(mod_php) and config settings set to this:

Code:

$config['uri_protocol']    = "PATH_INFO";
$config['enable_query_strings'] = TRUE;
