Yesterday Handy URI Templates 1.1.7 was released which fixed a few uritemplate-test issues as well as some URI encoding fixes. Hat tip to tekener for those fixes.

With that out of the way, I’ll be focusing on 1.2 which will change the API a bit, but will finally add reverse mapping so that you can use it to match request URLs to a URI template pattern. It turns out that this is a bit more complicated than I first imagined. A number of folks have pointed to the excellent wo-furi project as this already does reverse mapping. However, it only handles level 1, and maybe level 2 templates. Things get hairy when you start reverse mapping level 3 and level 4 templates.
