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.
This documentation also helps: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus/library/ls-Domino_URL_cheat_sheet/

I'm trying to fetch a specific part from the youtube URL. For example:- if the user has put the following URL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOjE7cQ0FkA
I would fetch the following part KOjE7cQ0FkA using the below method
String url = urlController.text; // https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOjE7cQ0FkA
List urlList = url.split("=");
String urlCode = await urlList[1];
but sometimes people copy the video link from mobile and this is how it would appear
https://youtu.be/KOjE7cQ0FkA In such case, above code wouldn't work
So how can I detect which URL is put by the user and perform a split operation accordingly
Sorry, if my question sounds stupid but I hope you got an idea that what I'm trying to achieve here
There are many ways to approach this. One way would be to parse the URL (have a look at this SO question).
With this approach you could check if the query parameter watch is present -- if not the URL is probably in the mobile format.
Another approach would be to define a regex expression for the Video-ID (KOjE7cQ0FkA) part of the URL. That way you can extract the Video-ID regardless of the format of the URL. I would probably go with that approach.
Your regex could look like this: ([a-zA-Z]+(\d[a-zA-Z]+)+)
I used this site to create the regex. You probably need to modify it a little bit. Also if the ID has a fixed length that is a great criteria to filter by.
This is in reference to this topic on the page here:
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.
When I replace the two options in this web call directly in the URL, I don't get the expected results.
https://secure.trademark-clearinghouse.com/tmch/public/labels?name=a%26b&jurisdiction=BX
Do I need to build a web form to use this web call?
Or am I replacing the options incorrectly?
Thanks.
Apparently you are using URL parameters to send some information
name=a%26b&jurisdiction=BX
means:
parameterName=parameterValue separed by "&" symbol.
in your case:
name="aɫb"
jurisdiction="BX"
If you want to just read that, will work without a form.
Any further explanation we will need more information about what do you want to do. But this symbol between the "a" and "b" is strange. As you can see here http://www.nicolas-hoffmann.net/utilitaires/codes-hexas-ascii-unicode-utf8-caracteres-usuels.php the code %26b is "ɫ" if you really want this in your data... it's okay.
With a lot of search engines, you can find the string you are searching in the URL.
However, http://drugcompare.destinationrx.com/Home.aspx does not let me do this. When I search something, the resulting URL is http://drugcompare.destinationrx.com/DrugCompare.aspx no matter what.
Is there any way I can find out whether I can search the website by adding something to the end of the URL, like "?query=searchstring" instead of using the form provided on the page? Basically I need a unique URL.
that website you pointed at uses POST to send data for its search query which means you wont be able to see or append it on the URL bar. The reason for that is either for security or the search query it generates is a complex object or too long and does not fit in a url. websites such as search engines uses GET, with that you can append your search query in the url by following the syntax it generates.
In some website for which I have access, there are some input fields. In the sixth field I need to enter some input string from a list of 10000 strings, then a new page appears, for which I would just need to count the number of lines. Finally I would like to get a table with two columns like input string and number of resulting lines. Since I have to manually enter the info for all the different 10000 strings, I wonder therefore what is the best approach to enter a string into a generic formular field and get the resulting text. I heard about curl but I am not sure whether this is the easiest one.
P.S.
Example of interactive way: I type some string o words into google search and then I get a new page with the search results. Previously I have introduced my google username and password, so the results will be probably filtered according to my profile.
Example of non-interactive way: A script somehow introduces my user information, search query and saves to some text file the search results. Imagine the same idea but for a more complicated website like this.
What you want to do is to send a HTTP POST with specific data. This can be done with any proper HTTP client code, and one such is libcurl (or the pycurl binding or even using the curl command line tool). On the response from the post, you probably get a redirect and then the results, or you need to do a separate request for the results and then you're done and go back to do the next POST. Repeat until all POSTs are done.
What you may need to take into account is that you may have to deal with cookies and possibly to follow a redirect from the POST. A good approach is to record a "manual session" as done with a browser (use firebug or LiveHTTPHeaders etc) and then use that recording to help you repeat the same thing with a HTTP client.
A decent tutorial to get some starting up details on this kind of work can be found here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/httpscripting.html
You could also use JMeter to run all the posts. You may use the CSV input to set the 10000 strings. Then you save the result as xml and extract the necessary data.
