File uri with query string can't be propagated by desktop.browse()

I have been trying to show some help pages using the following command:
java.awt.Desktop.getDesktop().browse( helpURI);
while the helpURI.toString() prints out the following:
file:///C:/Share/Code/phoenix/Install/REDIST/Help_Files/en/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm?context=BD&href=Chapter%202%20-%20Configuration.1.14.html
But when the getDesktop().browse() API is executed it will only propagate the uri-path and not the query string.
So the browser shows the following url as a result of the browse() call:
C:\Share\Code\phoenix\Install\REDIST\Help_Files\en\wwhelp\wwhimpl\js\html\wwhelp.htm
But if I manually copy the string "file:///C:/Share/Code/phoenix/Install/REDIST/Help_Files/en/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm?context=BD&href=Chapter%202%20-%20Configuration.1.14.html" to the internet explorer it works fine.
So can somebody give me any guidance on how I can propagate the file uri with query string through the browse() API or is there a better API for that?
Sibon.

The "cmd /S /C" suggestion didn't seem to work. I don't think the problem is in java but how the command line parameter needs to be added from msdos shell to "iexplore.exe"
When from the command line I enter the following command:
iexplore.exe file:///C:/Share/Code/phoenix/Install/REDIST/Help_Files/en/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm?context=BD&href=Chapter%202%20-%20Configuration.1.14.html
I get the same result as invoking from java Desktop API --- it truncates everything from question mark. I tried palying around with double quotes, single quotes, escaping and nothing seem to work.
Any ideas?

SharePoint 2013 List View with query string filter stops working after editing view from browser

I have created one list definition in which I have added one list view which will filter data from query string paramater
So when I am creating list from my list definition, view with query string filter is working fine.
But when I am modifying view from UI(I am not changing any thing , just opening "Modify View" page and then click on "Save" button), view gets stop working means it's not filtering data based on query string

Hi JayJT,
The Miscellaneous is located in the contact list that you used for the connection.
So , you need to edit the page, then edit the contact list that you used, in the web part properties of the contact list, you will find Miscellaneous, then expand it and select ‘Server Render’ .
I hope this helps.
Thanks,

Sling mapping issue with Query String

For a button component, URL behaves differently with query string. Please let me know the sling mapping example for query string.
Button component behavior across env:-
Working Scenario:-
- In Author edit mode, URL pointing to "/content/<websitelink>"
- In Author preview mode shows URL "<host>:<port>/content/<websitelink>.html"
- In Publisher mode shows URL, "<host>:<port>/<websitelink>", we do not want "/content" before website link so it is fine.
Failure Scenario with query string:-
- In Author edit mode URL pointing to "/content/<websitelink>?username=han"
- In Author preview mode with URL "<host>:<port>/content/<websitelink>?username=han"
- In Publisher mode, <host>:<port>/content/<websitelink>?username=han - Here we see the content, which is not acceptable in our scenario.
Please let me know the mapping changes when we have a URL with query string.

1) I assume you configure as per the rules mentioned in http://sling.apache.org/site/mappings-for-resource-resolution.html --> 'Mapping Entry Specification' under /etc/map. Based on the configuration in /etc/map and the website that we publish, it translates and shows all the applicable combination in the Felix console http://<host>:<port>/system/console/jcrresolver.
2) How does Adobe CQ 5.4 resolve the right mapping, if we have multiple map folder like below in /etc directory with the same website with different rules.
etc/map --> http --> <website> with property sling:match, sling:internalRedirect
etc/map.publish --> http --> <website> with property sling:match, sling:internalRedirect
etc/map.publish-stag --> http --> <website> with property sling:match, sling:internalRedirect
Kindly clarify.

IIS Webgate losing connection to OAM server with query string in URI

Hi,
We have a Windows 2008 server with IIS 7/7.5 and the OAM 10.1.4.3 webgate installed on it, and are having a problem where it appears that during the processing of a request, the webgate is getting an ErrEngineDown (i.e., the webgate thinks that it's lost connection to the OAM server).
We have a number of similarly configured IIS servers + webgates that work fine, but this problem is only occurring on one of the IIS servers, AND it appears that this only happens when the URI being requested includes a query string.
When this happens, we see the following in the webgate oblog.log file:
2012/10/08@16:45:10.244000     3148     2928     CONN_MGMT     DEBUG1     0x00000201     ..\src\aaa_service_client.cpp:935     "Simulating engine down reply"
and:
2012/10/08@16:45:10.244000     3148     3220     WEB     TRACE     0x00000203     ..\src\iis_filt_info.cpp:554     "Function entered"     _TraceName^ObIISFiltPreprocHdrs::RedirectTo     redirectUrl^/access/oblix/apps/webgate/bin/webgate.dll?status%253D500%2520errmsg%253DErrEngineDown
and:
2012/10/08@16:45:10.244000     3148     3220     ACCESS_CLIENT     DEBUG3     0x00000201     ..\src\aaa_service_client.cpp:3359     "ObAAAServiceClient::DecNumActiveReferences"     _numActiveReferences^0     AAA Client Address^0x02139730
2012/10/08@16:45:10.244000     3148     3220     ACCESS_SDK     ERROR     0x00000501     ..\src\obuser_session.cpp:1564     "ObError exception caught"     raw_code^124
We've confirmed that the IIS server connectivity to the OAM server is fine.
When they test, they get the OAM FORM login page, then then enter the username and password, and then the browser shows an "Oracle Access Manager Operation Error" webpage (which probably corresponds to that "ErrEnginedown".
The puzzling thing is why this would happen but only if the URI includes a query string. Also, as I mentioned, we are only seeing this problem with one IIS server (+webgate).
We have an SR with Oracle, but that hasn't made much progress, so I was wondering if anyone has encountered something like this?
Thanks,
Jim

Hi,
It turned out that there were some application errors that were occurring and when those were fixed, this problem disappeared. We don't control the IIS application, so we're not 100% what the problems were.

FLVPlayback source with query strings (parameters) doesn't load

Flash version: CS4
AS version: AS3
I'm currently trying to use the FLVPlayback component and pass a source FLV that's living on a cloudfront webserver. The problem is that the cloudfront requires authentication in the form of query strings in the source FLV. For example:
import fl.video.*;
var mainMovie:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();
mainMovie.source = "http://www.somedomainname.com/firmware.flv?dummyquery=22";
trace(addChild(mainMovie));
As soon as I take away the "dummyquery", it works fine. When I add a query string, it breaks (nothing loads).
Here is the error output I get:
[object FLVPlayback]
VideoError: 1005: Invalid xml: URL: "http://www.somedomainname.com/firmware.flv?dummyquery=22&FLVPlaybackVersion=2.1" No root node found; if url is for an flv it must have .flv extension and take no parameters
     at fl.video::SMILManager/http://www.adobe.com/2007/flash/flvplayback/internal::xmlLoadEventHandler()
     at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
     at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
     at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete()
It adds on "&FLVPlaybackVersion=2.1" to the end.
I saw a different article that said I should add a dummy variable at the end like "&dummy=.flv" because I was told that Flash is basically looking for an .flv extension at the end and you can trick it, but it doesn't work because they add on additional code.
Does anyone know how to work around this?

Hey supervu,
I know you already found a workaround to make this work, just figured I'd post an alternative to editing the FLVPlayback compoent. I also am retrieving an FLV file via a .Net ASHX file. To keep both worlds happy, I used a URLRewriter module to translate for me... this one translates what I am using for the FLVPlayback component source:
http://domain.com/flv/22.flv to be resolved as http://domain.com/API/resource.ashx?ID=22
There is of course no flv folder in the root of my application...
Here is my very simple URLRewriter class in vb.net:
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
Imports System
Imports System.Web
Public Class URLRewriter
    Implements IHttpModule
    Public Sub Init(ByVal inst As System.Web.HttpApplication) Implements System.Web.IHttpModule.Init
        AddHandler inst.BeginRequest, AddressOf Me.OnBeginRequest
    End Sub
    Public Sub OnBeginRequest(ByVal app As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
        Dim inst As HttpApplication = CType(app, HttpApplication)
        Dim req_path As String = inst.Context.Request.Path
        Dim trans_path As String = ""
        Dim search As String = "/flv/"
        Dim pos As Integer = req_path.IndexOf("/flv/")
        If pos > -1 Then
            Dim key as string = req_path.Substring(pos + search.Length, (req_path.LastIndexOf(".flv") - (pos + search.Length)))
            HttpContext.Current.Response.Redirect("~/API/resource.ashx?ID=" & key )
        End If
    End Sub
    Public Sub Dispose() Implements System.Web.IHttpModule.Dispose
    End Sub
End Class
and make sure you add this to your web.config.. this will cause URLRewriter to intercept all HTTP requests, and redirect as needed.
<system.web>
     <httpModules>
          <add name="URLRewriter" type="[Namespace].URLRewriter"/>
      </httpModules>
</system.web>
Hope this helps someone.

Having problems creating PDF from website with query-string URLs

I have a website that I would like to create a PDF from. I am using the Create -> PDF from Web Page..., selecting the site's home page, and capturing 2 levels, with "stay on same path" and "stay on same server" checked in order to limit the scope of the crawl.
Where the pages are at example.com/foo/ and example.com/foo/bar/, this works fine. However, where the pages are at example.com/foo/ and example.com/foo/?p=1, the page represented by the query string URL is not converted to the PDF.
This is a problem, given that the site I want to archive as a PDF uses query strings for most of its pages.
I have been able to individually convert a single query-string-based page into a PDF using this method, but doing this for every page on the site would be almost impossible given the sheer number of pages on the site.
Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround other than separately capturing each page (which would be prohibitive effort)?
I have tried this in both Acrobat Pro X and Acrobat Pro 9 for Mac, with the same results.

Remember, Acrobat is a 32-bit application and as such cannot access all that 'extra' stuff.

Help with Query String Url

Hello All. I am in need of assistance in creating a query link for a sharepoint 2013 list. I would like to create a link that will query a column other than the Item ID: http://somesite.aspx?QuerySearch={ItemId}.
Is there a way to accomplish this, let's say
http://somesite.aspx?QuerySearch={Title}?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to creat a query link for a SharePoint 2013 list.
You can use the URL as below, it return the item which Title is equal to Test.
https://sitename/Lists/external%20test/AllItems.aspx?FilterField1=Title&FilterValue1=Test
In addition, you can use Query String Filter Web Part.

.aspx files associated with wordpad. Can't find in options/applications to switch to Acrobat Reader.

At some point, I went to download a .aspx file and mistakenly set WordPad as the application to use to open this file type. It was a bad choice. Neither WordPad nor the .aspx file type show in the list on the Options/Applications widow to change it.
I'd really like to not have to use IE everytime I need to download and view a .aspx file.
Suggestions?

You can rename (or delete) the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.

How do i pass a url with query string using the jsp:forward tag

This snippet of code gives a 403 error
<jsp:forward page="testpage.jsp?test=1" />
How do i rectify it?

Well better way to go about for the job is to use
setAttribute("name","value");method in the first page
and then in next page use method
String s=getAttribute("name");to retreive the value.
Url rewritting or using Query String has some disadvantages ,which are handled by above mentioned approach.

fgl_grant_year 10 period 1 = for account 7600 its $100 and $100 for period 2 you see 100 dollars again this is not to be added this is the carried over balance. which remains $100.
so im trying to write a query that basically does the following.
im given a period for the sake of this example lets say period 1 i get nothing else. I have to find the greates grant year grab the amount for period 14(which is the total from the previous year) and add it to the amount of the current period. in this case period 1 grnt_year 11
so the expected outcome should be $700
240055     240055     7240     4730     02     10     14     200
240055     240055     7600     4730     02     10     14     100
240055     240055     7600     4730     02     11     1     400keep in mind that im not given a year just a period.
any help that you guys can offer would be immensely appreciated. I have been trying to get this to work for over 3 days now.

the current period +(current period - greatest year 00)
hope that makes sense so in other words with the new data above. if i was querying period two of grant year 11. i would end up with $800
because the greatest year is 11 it contains a period 0 with amount of $400 so my total should be
period 2 amount $ 600
period 0 amount $ 400 - period 2 amount of $600 = 200
600+200 = $800
if i query period 1 of grant 360055 i would just end up with 800 of grnt year 10.
i have tried to modify that query you supplied to me with no luck. I have tried for several day but im embarrased to say i just can get it to do what im trying to do .
can you please help me out.

Calling HTTP Service with Query string in Orchestration

Hi,
I have to BTS orchestration as a service to my end user. In Orchestration i have to call "http://abc.net/.xyz?a=101&b=102" service and response send to end user. a and b values are to be passed by end user system.Could you please help me how
to work on this requirement

When you use querystring in your URL, then your are not calling a webservice. You need a non-SOAP
adapter.
Best bet for you is to use
REST (WCF-WebHttp) adapter if you use BizTalk Server 2010 R2 or more. Otherwise
webHttpBinding with WCF-Custom
For use BizTalk Server 2010 R2 or more:
http://blogs.biztalk360.com/rest-wcf-webhttp-adapter-in-biztalk-server-2010-r2/
You can use webHttpBinding (that supports consuming and exposing ReSTful services) available with WCF-Custom adapter can send non-SOAP
messages. Refer this article for more info:

Safari on iphone won't render cgi generated png images with query strings

I've got a cgi app functioning as a web service that generates png images and serves them up as part of another app which marshals them up in HTML.
Here's the image stand alone:
http://cybre.net/maps/mapgen.pl.png?WIDTH=1024&HEIGHT=768
and here's how I marshal it:
<IMG CONTENTTYPE='image/png' SRC='http://cybre.net/maps/mapgen.pl.png?WIDTH=1024&HEIGHT=768'>
It seems to work on firefox, epiphany and galeon web browsers for linux, and my windows friends say that internet explorer renders them okay as well.
My only apple hardware is my iphone, and safari pretends that there is no content when it renders the HTML page. Safari on the iphone does not render even using a direct link.
The png is generated by perl mapscript, $img = $map->draw;
print "content-type: image/png\n\n";
$img->write;
close(STDOUT)
On the previous version of the iphone firmware, and before i factored the image generation out into a web service, the iphone was able to render the png image successfully.
Is this safari wierdness where it gets cranky that there is
QUERY_STRING info after the .png? mapgen.pl.png?foo=bar ?
If so, are other browsers just being hyper liberal in what they accept and safari is playing by the rules or is this a bug in safari?

it turns out that safari's handling of png is broken, the problem reproduced on both iphone and mac safaris.
in changing the format to gif, it all works okay.
does apple allow mortals to file bugs against safari?

If I replace my desktop iMac with a laptop, can I still use the desktop as a screen on occasion?

I'm planning to replace my existing iMac and old MacBook with a new Macbook pro. This would be my first time without a dedicated desktop computer. I was wondering if it would be possible to easily hook up my laptop to the old iMac and use it as a larger monitor for those times I want the big screen.

Late 2009 and Mid 2010 27-inch iMacs, and Mid 2011 and Late 2012 iMacs can be used as external displays > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302 Late 2009 and Mid 2010 21'5-inch iMacs and older iMacs can't be used as an external display.
If you have a Late 2009 or Mid 2010 iMac, buy a Mini DisplayPort cable to connect your MacBook Pro to the iMac, and press Command and F2 keys on the iMac. If you have a Mid 2011 or Late 2012 iMac, buy a Thunderbolt cable.
If you have an iMac which isn't compatible, use an application like ScreenRecycler, which allows you to use your iMac as an external display

Query string read as part of file name, throwing not found errors

Hi all, I host a number of Web sites under a CF7 installation, Win2003.
One site in particular is throwing not-found errors in response to certain search bot requests.
In the IIS log, I noticed that for these requests, the query part of the URL is part of cs-uri-stem field value, but is not in the cs-uri-query field where it belongs:
cs-uri-stem= /index.cfm?template=24hour5.cfm
cs-uri-query=<blank>
instead of
cs-uri-stem= /index.cfm
cs-uri-query=template=24hour5.cfm
Evidently something somewhere is interpreting the entire URL as a filename, instead of a file name and a query string. When CF tries to locate the file it is throwing a not-found error.
Maybe there is something weird about the question mark, but it looks normal to me.
I can't seem to stop this error, since it is occuring at the OS, IIS, CF or jrun layer. Does anyone have any idea what is going on here, and what I can do about it?
Thanks in advance.
Joe

Hey Reed, thanks for responding.
I have a Cf utility that parses logs, so I modifed it to print out the ASCII codes for each character. They look normal, as far as I can tell. The question mark has a code of 63 which is correct, and no non-alphabetic characters precede or follow.
One interesting thing is that the stem being called is an index.cfm file, and the query string argument happens to be a template name, and it ends in .cfm. That's why it is making it all the way to CF, which chokes on it, instead of IIS logging a 404 error.
Often an identifiable bot is requesting these bad URLs, though I have spotted another request with agent 'Mozilla/4.0.' I suspect that is some kind of automated scan. (I also see other requests with the same agent name, though a different IP, that look like errononeously URL-encoded requests. These get filtered by URLScan.)
I don't know for sure is whether the specific clients that make these bad calls always make them them wrong way. They appear to. Most clients that access the site do so normally.
I wonder if there could be something in the request header, perhaps that instructs IIS to expect a different charset than what is actually used, or something like that.

File uri with query string can't be propagated by desktop.browse()
