Does anyone have a hack to get CI to ignore the querystring part of the url and just route based on the url before the "?"? I would like to be able to pass parameters through the querystring but in my experience it completely screws up the routing. This is one place I would love to see CI improve. (contrary to CI belief, $_GET is not the root of all evil ;-) )

I've gotten routing to work along with query strings by changing the variable

Code:

$config['uri_protocol']    = "AUTO";

to

Code:

$config['uri_protocol']= "ORIG_PATH_INFO";

Although this worked for my server / setup, it may not work on yours. I'm just letting you know that it is possible to use pretty urls along with query strings to achieve that perfect url structure!
