 This is safe because the input (country code) is only used as a query
 against the blocked bridges list. I have updated the function to strip all
 characters except a-zA-Z

 {{{
 def getCCFromRequest(request):
     path = re.sub(r'[^a-zA-Z]', '', request.path)
     if len(path) ==  2:
         return path.lower()
     return None
 }}}
