Routing to accept any character in URL in Asp.net MVC like stackoverflow

Question

I have created below route to accept any value in last parameter but it's not working.

routes.MapRoute(
    "My Route", // Route name
    "Home/MyMethod/{LID}/{MID}/{JID}/{*Title}", // URL with parameters
    new { controller = "Home", action = "MyMethod" } 
);

I want to accept a route like

http://localhost:10537/Home/MyMethod/47518/QQEBH/T2776086/8758~!@#$%^*()-+=-HAMPDEN--DR-TAMPA-FL-33626

A working sample is stackoverflow itself.

You can see in above URL, it's accepting &*><: etc symbols. Any help would be appreciable.

How the routing engine interpret {LID}/{MID}/{JID}/{*Title} ? — Arghya C, Sep 07 '15 at 16:57
It will accept. But how those values will be passed to your action method? — Arghya C, Sep 07 '15 at 17:00
If you have a method like public ActionResult MyMethod(string lid, string mid, string jid, string title) { return new ContentResult { Content = string.Format("lid {0}, mid {1}, jid {2}, title {3}", lid, mid, jid, title) }; //just to show on screen } - it just works fine, what is the issue you are facing? — Arghya C, Sep 07 '15 at 17:26

After a search, I found the solution

<system.web>
    <httpRuntime requestPathInvalidCharacters="" requestValidationMode="2.0" />
    <pages validateRequest="false" />
</system.web>

Ref:- Getting "A potentially dangerous Request.Path value was detected from the client (&)"
