dash not allowed in custom routed uri since 1.7?

@sohpistry - thanks

Nope, not using SVN, just normal 1.7.0 release. I'm accustomed to seeing the old string message when I use a non-permitted character, but that change you mention in the SVN 171 sounds nice.

I've only been using CI for about a month, so I'm still learning how the internals work.
I've tried doing this in my controller:

Code:

class Feed extends Controller {
  function Feed {
    parent::Controller();
    show_error( $this->uri->ruri_string() . "\n" . $this->uri->uri_string() );
  }

And this works fine if I don't have a dash in the uri, but if I do have a dash, all I get is the 404 page.

So where should I put the show_error statement so that it displays before the 404?
