[Solved, Work-around] URL Encoded URL as GET param

Hi,

I need to pass a complete URL as a param to a get request. Even if I encode the URL, slim returns a 404 error. Is there any way to pass a URL as a param to a slim GET call? For example:

http://www.mysever.com/api/get_stats/param1/param2/https%3A%2F%2Fa.url.com%2Fpath1%2Fpath2%2Fpath3/param4/param5/param6

Edit 1: I suppose I could try via a POST instead.

Edit 2: Handling this request via POST appears to work. It seems there is some odd behavior when trying to pass a URL as a GET param.

Thanks!
