Is it possible to use multiple slash Django URL as one variable in Django?

I'm new to Django. I'm now creating a project. In that project, I've links like this:

https://localhost:8000/example.com/example/path/

In the URL the example.com/example/path/ can be dynamically long as like this

example.com

or

example.com/asset/css/style.css

or

domain.com/core/content/auth/assets/js/vendor/jquery.js

I've used <str:domainurl> But is not working. As it has multiple forward slashes. And the forward slashes URL length generated while web scraping. So is there is a way to use the full URL as one variable?

try this

urls.py

from django.urls import path
from app.views import extract_path

urlpatterns = [
    path('<path:url>', extract_path, name='extract_path'),
]

views.py

from django.http import JsonResponse

def extract_path(request, url):
    full_path = request.get_full_path()
    extracted_path = full_path.lstrip('/')
    # You can use either url or extracted_path      
    # as they both return the same value.
    return JsonResponse({'extracted_path': extracted_path, 'url': url})

and response:

{
  "extracted_path": "example.com/example/path/",
  "url": "example.com/example/path/"
}

You want to be using the path path converter [Django docs]:

path('<path:domainurl>/', some_view)

Quoting Django docs:

path - Matches any non-empty string, including the path separator, '/'. This allows you to match against a complete URL path rather than a segment of a URL path as with str.

Note: Design your url patterns and order them carefully if you are going to use this. Django uses the first matching url pattern to serve any request.

If you want Django to match some custom strings take a look at re_path (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/ref/urls/#django.urls.re_path) function. It basically allows you to pass a regular expression.

For the urls samples you provided you would probably want an expression like this (in your urls.py):

re_path(r'^(?P<my_url>[a-z0-9/\.]+)$', your_view_function)

This will pass a my_url kwarg to your view which you can then process as you want.
