can't view drinker page for drinker with period in username

[jlopp]

We have a user whose name is in the form "john.doe" and when you try to go to the drink page at http://kegbot.brontolabs.com/drinkers/john.doe it redirects to http://kegbot.brontolabs.com/kegadmin/devices/link/ rather than displaying the user's drinking stats.

I'm assuming this is an issue with the period in the username, because if you try to view a user that simply doesn't exist, such as http://kegbot.brontolabs.com/drinkers/notauser then a 404 error is returned. On a related note, it would probably be helpful to handle that case as well and just display a nice 'user does not exist' error.

Thanks for the report. Periods in username are kosher, looks like it's a problem with the link/ url matcher (should be ^link/). 1 satoshi says your john doe's name ends in link..

Why yes, you nailed it!

For sure; I'll put a $50 bounty on completion of an in-app BTC tipjar.
