The following route works as I would like - i.e. match /pref/ and bind * to the rest of the path.

(GET "/pref/*" [*] (do (println *) (resp (str "Hello " *))))

However there's a complaint to stdout:

WARNING: * should not be used as a route binding.

The clout docs suggest that wildcarding with * is fine, the compojure docs don't explain how I should do this idiomatically without provoking the warning, or what the reason for the warning is. I must confess to a certain unease binding * myself although I'm not sure why.

After some poking around, this seems to satisfy, using the inline regexp functionality to match everything. Still not sure what the warning is for.

(GET "/pref/:path{.*}" [path] (do (println path) (resp (str "Hello " path))))
