Why does a URL with two hyphens (in the same segment) correspond to a Route in my route table?

Question

I am trying to resolve this url.

Route articlesByCategory = new Route("articles/c{cid}-{category}", new Handler);

However, it seems that the following URL will not allow this route:

// doesn't work
www.site.com/articles/c24-this-is-the-category-title

// This works
www.site.com/articles/c24-category

I suppose this is due to a dash in the title, but can anyone tell me why this works this way?

Is there a way to allow dashes in the header for a URL route like this?
