URL mapping regex don't match newlines

[Andrew Trusty]

I'm using some crazy urls that have stuff like newlines in them. These urls can't be mapped in webpy using a regex with a dot because I can't specify the regex flag re.DOTALL.

My quick fix for 0,23 was to set this flag to the regex compilation on line 333 of utils.py. It looks like the dev version might require more work with the _match function in application.py

Did things actually work once you added re.DOTALL? I would have
thought any newlines would have to be encoded in the URL...

Things are working with the added re.DOTALL. I am using url encoded
newlines but the regex must be matching on the decoded url because it
wouldn't match my urls.

For example, the following url isn't matched by the regex
'/verify/(.+)' without the re.DOTALL ('%0A' is an encoded newline).

http://localhost:8080/verify/WFVkSj%0AU7x0=

Should be a simple fix.

Looked like I need to add additional argument to utils.re_subm and change all call to it.

I prefer to postpone this change to 0.34/0.35.
