passing an encoded url ..

They can work in tandem. I turned on query strings for the admin portion of my application.

In your config:

Code:

$config['enable_query_strings'] = TRUE;
$config['directory_trigger'] = '';
$config['controller_trigger'] = '';
$config['function_trigger'] = '';

Then in your controller you just reference:

Code:

$val = $this->input->get('val');

I was just thinking thou, have you thought about base64 encoding the url. That way it would just be a a-z0-9 string.
