URL params not in queryParams

Good Afternoon,

I have a external get request hitting a controller action but i cannot retrieve the params.

the URL looks like:

https://yourway.local/strava/webstatusrep?hub.verify_token=STRAVA&hub.challenge=15f7d1a91c1f40f8a748fd134752feb3&hub.mode=subscribe

i have tried using

$param1 = $request->getQueryParam('hub.challenge');

or 

 $param = ArrayHelper::getValue(Yii::$app->request->get(), 'hub.challenge');

But also in Xdebug i can see they are not sitting in the “queryparams” section.

You are running this code inside a controller action correct? Have you tried removing or changing the dot (.) from hub.challenge? This could be an encoding problem.
