Yes.

function unknown(object request) 
sequence url = map:get(request,"PATH_INFO") 
    map response = map:new() 
	addHomePageVars(response) 
	map:put(response, "error", "Unknown path: " & map:get(request,"PATH_INFO")) 
    return redirect( url_for("index", response ) ) 
end function 
app:route("*", "unknown") 

TBH I haven't really tested the "catch all" approach very much and IMO it'd be safer to maintain specific routes instead of trying to handle "everything."

You should be able to use a static handler for this instead. You can add multiple routes to the same handler.

function static( object request ) 
 
    sequence path_info = map:get( request, "PATH_INFO" ) 
    sequence local_file = canonical_path( "." & path_info ) 
 
    if search:begins( current_dir(), local_file ) and file_exists( local_file ) then 
        return send_file( local_file ) 
    end if 
 
    return response_code( 404 ) 
end function 
app:route( "/static/.+", "static" ) -- any file in the "./static" directory 
app:route( "/favicon\\.ico", "static" ) -- the specific file "favicon.ico" 

Note the backslash in second route; because these are regex patterns you have to escape the period.
