Django URL regex not working

Question

I have a Django URL I can't seem to get to work. I'm thinking it's something Django related rather than the regex itself since the regex is working at pythex.org.

Here's the URL string:

http://127.0.0.1:8000/invitation.html?S2XEvent=ConfirmInvitation&Type=Participant&ValidationKey=ab8a8f1fc1927044feb89245dd88a55e&InvitationId=14708

And here's the line in my urls.py:

url(r'^invitation\.html\?S2XEvent=ConfirmInvitation&Type=(?P<invitation_type>\w+)&ValidationKey=(?P<validation_key>\w+)&InvitationId=(?P<invitation_id>\d+)$', 'events.views.accept'),

Before anyone yells at me about the ugly URL, this is just for legacy purposes as this code is replacing an existing application.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Not sure if you're supposed to write out query params in url configuration. Prolly messing it up. — Ilja Everilä

That's not how Django urls work. Query parameters - those after the ? - are not part of the urlpattern but are captured in request.GET.

Your pattern should just be r'^invitation\.html$'.

Alright that makes sense. So I just need to send all invitation.html requests to whatever view, then get them from request.GET?
