+Example in this problem we need redirect the url `http://localhost:8000/a/b/C/123/4/5` to `http://localhost:8000/abC12345` without `/` slash.
+
+#### 1. In your `views.py`
+
+{% highlight python %}
+from django.http import HttpResponse
+from django.views.generic.base import RedirectView
+from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
+
+def pool_fix(request, pk):
+    return HttpResponse("You're looking at question %s." % pk)
+
+#Ref: http://stackoverflow.com/a/16627830/3445802
+class UserRedirectView(RedirectView):
+    permanent = False
+    def get_redirect_url(self, pk):
+        pk = ''.join(str(pk).split('/'))
+        return reverse('pool_fix', kwargs={'pk': pk})
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+#### 2. In your `urls.py`
+
+{% highlight python %}
+from django.conf.urls import url
+from . import views
+
+urlpatterns = [
+    url(r'^pool/(?P<pk>[0-9a-zA-Z\/]+)/$', views.UserRedirectView.as_view(), name='pool'),
+    url(r'^pool/(?P<pk>[\d\w_]+)$', views.pool_fix, name='pool_fix'), #allow decimal and words only.
+]
+{% endhighlight %}
