Django url pattern to ignore extra characters

I have a django url shown below :

url(r'^update_status/field1/(?P<field1_id>.*)/field2/(?P<field2_id>.*)/$', 'update_status', name='update_status')

This catches both the urls like :

update_status/field1/0445df4d8e1c43ae9/field2/f12b6b5c98/mraid.js/

and

update_status/field1/0445df4d8e1c43ae9/field2/f12b6b5c98

I want to capture only the second url . What should be changed in the django url?

Your regular expression (?P<field_id>.*) catches any character, including / characters. You want to restrict it to the format of the field_ids like this: (?P<field1_id>[0-9a-f]+) (same for field2_id).

Note: I'm assuming your id consists only of hexadecimal characters.
