Converting punycode with dash character to Unicode
//Javascript Punycode converter derived from example in RFC3492.
I don't know where to place the input 清华大学.cn domain to get the Javascript to work. I am not a real a programmer.
I want to use the js code on this page to convert IDN domain names to penycode if possible. I'm using a ColdFusion html page to process the JS. Then I'll save the penycode to our SQL database.
Example: 清华大学.cn needs to be converted to penycode.
I can use any number of online converters but that won't help. It has to be automated with a script. FYI, the penycode for 清华大学.cn is xn--xkry9kk1bz66a.cn.
HERE IS MY PROBLEM:
Even after copying the js code into Dreamweaver, I have no idea where to place the domain 清华大学.cn into the Javascript code be converted. I can't see a hint where the input is - if any. I can figure things out okay if there was some hint at where to begin.
I just need to know where to place the input or someone to tell me this can't be done with the Javascript example on that page.
We are using ColdFusion 19 and SQL on our under construction domain marketplace website. We want to accept IDN domains to be listed and I am hoping your JS will do what I want.
If I'm totally wrong then perhaps someone can suggest another js code that will convert the domain to correct penycode.
After searching I found an close answer I can at least work with, I hope. I needed an html input form to process the Javascript.
I found that information here.
How to convert domain names with greek characters to an ascii URL?
I then copied the page, inserted the Javascript as puny.js and it works. Now I need to figure out how to somehow capture the input "id" and "label for" to save the result into SQL using ColdFusion. Not sure if this can be done. But at least the somewhat answers my question. Maybe it's the best I'm going to get here on Stackoverflow.

Okay. I know this question was a bit confusing, so let me decompose my question a bit further. For example, let's say I have the URL: https://example.com. I have an open GET endpoint at: https://example.com/user/* that will return a specific user's information based on what the contents of the "*" is. Lets say a specific user is at: https://example.com/user/12345. On an HTML page, I would like to put that user's profile contents and some of their hobbies. Again, this is theoretical. I have explored various solutions such as Handlebars.js which can dynamically change values based on the server request. However, this solution does not always work. Take a search engine for example at: https://mysearchengine.com/search?query=dogs. Here, we have a search query for dogs. How do I render all of the results to a HTML document without using a dynamic content module like Handlebars?
This question was particularly difficult to ask, so please do not mark this as "not enough information". I would be more than happy to clarify any questions you may have about the nature of my query. Thank you so much in advance,
Flight Dude.
Just wanted to let y'all know I found my answer: EJS. Thanks!
I'm trying to find a way to check if my rdfa-parser (written in nodejs) is working.
So I have an rdfa-parser, which should print all triples, found in a file or url (with rdfa-syntax).
So far I know, that there are testsuits for RDFa-parsing (http://rdfa.info/test-suite/rdfa1.1/html5/manifest), but I'm not sure how to use them.
Is there a good webpage, where this is described? Or can anyone help me in another way?
There should be some information at the rdfa.info/tests site. Basically, you need a service that will accept a GET request, where the "uri" query parameter points to the input file. The service then parses the file, and returns some other form of RDF, typically N-Triples. More information on the Github page: https://github.com/rdfa/rdfa-website/blob/master/README.md
Need a way to pass a value between to pages using URL query strings if possible. However everytime I add "?customquery=customvalue" at the end it ends up to the 404 page of the website.
I want to basically make it look like this.
https://example.com/somedepartment/sample.nsf/page/hello+world?customquery=customvalue
hello+world is a document that is equivalent to a webpage.
I tried this plus a javascript that collects the strings after the number sign and it works.
https://example.com/somedepartment/sample.nsf/page/hello+world#customvalue
However, I couldn't use the hash sign because they told me not to use it and use another unique symbol instead. I am not aware of any symbols that could work the same with hash sign. If there is, please enlighten me.
Apparently, I was able to find an answer.
https://example.com/somedepartment/sample.nsf/page/hello+world?OpenDocument&RandomParam=sample
Now I could pass values by means of this format. Basically it has to be preceded by "OpenDocument" parameter before putting custom ones.

I am trying to build a part of a website which takes in a text passage as input, and outputs the same text passage, except with the definition of each word appearing when the user rolls over (or clicks) any given word. I have a pre-made .exe file which maps input words to their definitions (takes in words from standard input and outputs the definition to standard output).
My problem, then, is to run user input through the .exe file on the website's server, then put the output back onto the page. It seems like a fairly trivial problem, but I have no idea where to start.
So my questions are: is this project even possible? If so, what languages/tools do I need to be able to use in order to implement it? Are there keywords that describe what I'm talking about that I could use to look up tutorials/solutions on the Web?
I have rudimentary knowledge of PHP, HTML, and Javascript, but so little experience that I can't judge whether (and how) they can be used to approach this problem.
Note: I do not have access to the .exe source, so I must use the .exe itself as my input-output mechanism.
With AJAX and PHP, you can do accomplish this with minimal effort.
JavaScript's AJAX features would send the word you input to the PHP page, and from the PHP page, you can run the external exe file with the sent word as an argument (sanitize it, please. People can inject code which will explode your servers!):
<?php
$word = $_POST['input_word']; // MAKE SURE YOU SANITIZE THIS. If you don't, system security goes down the toilet.
exec('myprogram.exe ' + $word, $output_array);
print_r($output_array);
?>
I am working on a site that have an international aim; I.o.w., logged in users can add text in their own language. I am hoping for international page names and content.
An URL example, like the Japanese Wikipedia: http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/メインページ (Both pagename and content text).
I know by using UTF-8, I can do this, but how should I control it?
UTF-8 contains way to many languages/letters to control in a script, I guess, so how safe/unsafe is it to allow people to add UTF-8 text?
I can see that someone could add harmful code this way, but how to prevent it?
All information regarding safety/control when using UTF-8 is appreciated!
EDIT: PS! I use PHP and MySQL.
Warning: perhaps a slightly rusty response:
Note: not discussing host name (IDNS) issues.
The only completely safe thing here is to use %-escaped UTF-8. Some browsers will display this as what you want, and some will display the %-escapes. (e.g. http://foo.bar/%ee%cc%cf.html)
If you put 'real UTF-8' in the URLs, many things will work, but there may be unpleasant surprises lurking for some people in some browsers. I'm reading your question as dealing with 100% static content. If you are trying to do this with code behind the site, you have additional issues to work on.
The 'unpleasant surprises' would be (a) people finding the %xx's in the URL unreadable, (b) a browser that melts, (c) some data scraping or aggregating application that melts.
I wish I were more up to date on this, but I'm not, so my recommendation is to deploy a test site and then try to access it with everything you can put your hands on, including mobile phones. Persuade Google to index it, and see what happens there.
For domain names, this is called IDN. For page names, you may want to think of the possibility of IDN spoofs.
It's safe as long as you don't interpret it literally as SQL (SQL injection) or HTML (XSS) or any other language. Just escape any user-controlled input (request URL, request headers, request parameters, request body, etc..etc..) at the point it's going to be used in SQL or HTML.
It's unclear what server side programming language you're using, so I can't go further in detail.
