How to encode/decode URLs ...

Hello,
I wanted to send an entire URL as parameter to a Stored Procedure.
How can I encode/decode this URL?
Thanks

You need to escape non-alphanumeric characters with %XX where XX is the hexadecimal value for that character. For example:
"venkat & ashique" => "venkat%20%26%20ashique"%20 is space and %26 is the &.

How to encode short urls to long

Hi community,
Is there a way, to encode a short url like http://myServer:50000/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=navurl://b3d6d9ebac16a46574d62757803b05d4 to a long one like http://myServer:50000/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=ROLES://portal_content/every_user/general/eu_role/com.sap.portal.portal_personalization/com.sap.portal.persoUserMapping?
I want to keep the short urls for the navigation, however I have a issue where I need to get some infos that I can only find in the long url.
Thanks!

How to encode URL in UTF-8 Using PL/SQL

Hello,
Platform:Oracle 9i, Sun Solaris,
Using Oracle 0i XML/XDK Iam able to generate xml data and post it to url via HTTP POST. But the xml data need to be encoded in utf-8. Does anyone know how to encode the xml data within PL/sql ?
Thanks for your time
Seema

Thanks for the suggestion. I like this approach as Java is more familiar to me than other languages.
Our DBA is out of touch today, so I could not grant the javauserpriv to my database user. I tried to run the script anyway in the chance that my user had the privs, and it seemed to have hung. I am now combing Oracle's site for more documentation so I can write some tests to see if I can get a basic Java object working. Under what heading would I find this?

Ritu,
Split the webpage into two frames.
Frame1: Dropdown that you will dynamically populate. This will have to be coded using http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/09/9c0e41a346ef6fe10000000a1550b0/content.htm.
Next insert java script into your page so that when one of these links is selected, specifically the onChange event, the other frame gets refreshed with the webpage that you would like to have. This page gives a good example of onChange.

Best.

Does CF really auto-decode URL parameters passed to a page?

CF docs and livedocs state that:
quote:
ColdFusion automatically decodes URL parameters that are
passed to a page
(for example, see the URLEncodedFormat tag description, last
sentence of opening paragraph)
However, if you have a url-encoded url parameters, as in
?var1=1%26var2=2 (%26 is url-encoded equivalent of &), and in
your page you try to validate url parameters with <cfparam
type="integer" name="url.var1"> or with isvalid("integer",
url.var1) function, the validation will fail! Apparently, inside at
least this tag and function Cf does not automatically decode url
parameters... it sees the var1 declaration, but sees its value to
be not 1, but 1&var2=2, which surely fails validation against
type "integer"....
This behaviour has been brought up in these forums several
times now, but nobody has been able to explain how this relates to
the CF docs statement... Any ideas, anyone? Is this an expected
behaviour? Are the docs wrong? Does 'parameter', as in "url
parameters", refer only to specific parts of query string and does
not include url var name/value pairs separator? Apparently the same
happens if you have "=" sign url-encoded, too...

I will have to think on this, do some reading and try some
experiments.
But my first thought is that this is expected behavior. I
would
propose the purpose of URL encoding the ampersand(&) is
so that it will
be considered a part of a value, not its usual role of
name-value pair
separator. So in my mind this is the way it is supposed to
work.
val1=1&val2=2 : val1 is 1 and val2 is 2
val1=1%26var2=2 : val1 is '1&var2' or '1&var2=2'
I will have to explore this further.

Simple and very fast encoder-decoder

I will explain my need with an example;
www.domain.com/photo.jsp?id=23
here id is 23 and people can try every photo by incresing or decreasing the id number. I want to encode the id's while printing the id to screen as url and will decode everytime when i get the request from user.
So i need a very fast and simple logic of encode & decode. I have tested base64 at java but everyone knows the algortihm. Is there any other simple algorithm that i can generate on my own?
What do you advice to me except changing my database and search with hex keys?

believe me its strictly
needed on a photo web site... there are too much
reasons.I can't think of one.1)when ids are sequantial on db users can get the idea which after or before this photo is uploaded
2)when you see the normal integer numbers on ids you can remember it easily and edit the link by hand and see whats going on...
3)When u see user_id is=1 u can understand easily that he is an admin or one of the first member of website
4)when u try the maximum photo id or user id every user can understand how many user or photos are there in website
there are lots of things like above... They may be not that valueble for everyone but i think this have to be.

How to assign a URL in the Tabular Form

Hi,
I am using the htmldb.item api's to create manually,the Tabular form. I have got a column in the database(View) like
''||substr(DESCRIPTION,1,30)||decode(substr(DESCRIPTION,30,1),null,null,'...')||'' DESCRIPTION,
which displays as a URL and when the user clicks this URL, the page will have a popup page(in this case it is redirected to page 52).
My probelm is , if I use wwv_flow_item.display_and_save for this column, I dont see the URL, but it displays the above entire string (along with the HTML tags).
If I do not use wwv_flow_item.display_and_save, I can not use this item in the COllections as I am using the some validations to display an Error message (Inline with field and in Notification)
I cannot display the Validation error in the - On Error Page as I should prevent the user to use the browser buttons
Please let me know how to display the URL and to have this information in the Collection
TIA
Ravi

Ravi,
Can you fetch the column twice, once into a non-escaped display type that does not generate a form item and again into a hidden item for your collection?

How do you harness URL external application in a JSP?

I have successfully deployed the Yahoo Finance sample URL External Application. However, I do not understand how to utilize the URL classes (in the pdkjava.jar) to harness the external application information once a user has authenticated. I am building a JSP portlet that displays and applet, however the applet requires a username and password. I need to get the Username and Password from external application, which it gets from the user via External Application. How do I get these values in my JSP (that is defined in my provider.xml)? I keep seeing documentation regarding the ExternalPrincipal object however I don't understand how to utilize this object in my JSP. I beleive the ExternalPrincipal object is what I need in my JSP, seeing that it has the methods for getting the user and password. Unless is there a better way of achieving this, can anyone shed some light on getting the ExternalPrincipal object for an External Application session?
Thanks,
Laith E.H.

Thanks for the example. I have a better understanding now, however I'm still having trying to comprehend the flow of executing in this portal model.
I have a problem with:
PortletRenderRequest pr = (PortletRenderRequest) request.getAttribute("oracle.portal.PortletRenderRequest");
ProviderUser prUser = pr.getUser();
ProviderSession pSession = prUser.getSession(true);
I get a NullPointerException on the second line when trying to getUser(). I'm not sure where the problem could be. In the provider.xml, my ExternalProviderInstance, or the JSP itself? I have another JSP portlet on the same page that calls the same method with success.
Thanks,
Laith E.H.

SharePoint Search encodes the URL incorrectly when there are special characters in a filename on a file share

In our Sharepoint Server 2013 CA, Search Administration, Content Sources, we have configured a File Share Content Source.
Search queryes works fine and it returns relevant documents from the file share content source.
But when click on a file with a filename that contains special characters like "ÁÝÚÍÓÐ", Sharepoint encodes the link to the file incorect, and when we click on the link to the file, it throws an error on the screen saying "This
page can’t be displayed".
The following picture shows an example on how Sharepoint shows encodes the URL to a file with a special character in the filename:
As you can see, the link to the file is
\\xserver1\felagstest\Kompliserað\Ólavur.pdf, but when I hoover over the file, it translates og encodes this to
\\xserver1\Felagstest\KompliseraÃ°\Ã“lavur.pdf. If I manually type the correct link in the address field in Internet Explorer then it works.
What is the problem here, and more importently what is the solution to this problem?

This is solved in the Hotfix KB 2899469 for SharePoint Server 2013 October 14, 2014:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/stefan_gossner/archive/2014/10/14/october-2014-cu-for-sharepoint-2013-has-been-released.aspx
I installed the http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2899469 hotfix, and now I can search and open files on external file shares with path and filenames containing non-US-ASCII characters,
without getting "This page can’t be displayed".
Where in the description of this hotfix is written, that it solves the encoding issue?

Base 64 Encode/Decode

I consider sending clear text problematic when the data ends
up as XML information. Converting the text Strings to Base 64
between PHP and Flex 2 (or anything else and Flex 2) eliminates
issues with character text like <> and &'s. I've done a
lot of XMLRPC coding and always sent text data values that are Base
64 format. The built in Flex 2 Base 64 functions make this easier.
On the PHP side, you can use
$b64StringVal = base64_encode ( $stringData );
$stringData = base64_decode ( $b64StringVal );
to convert.
If you are using Java at th back end, look at:
http://iharder.sourceforge.net/current/java/base64/
Definitions in the CDATA area:
import mx.utils.Base64Encoder;
import mx.utils.Base64Decoder;
import flash.utils.ByteArray;
public function encodeB64(target:String) : String
var be:Base64Encoder = new Base64Encoder();
be.encode(target);
var encodedData:String = be.flush();
return encodedData;
public function decodeB64(target:String) : String
var bd:Base64Decoder = new Base64Decoder();
bd.decode(target);
var decodedData:ByteArray = bd.drain();
return decodedData.toString();
[Bindable] public var myData:String = new String();
private function loginResult(evt:ResultEvent):void {
var b64MyData:String = evt.result.MyData;
myData=decodeB64(b64MyData);
In the mxml area:
<mx:HTTPService id="loginPage" url="
http://localhost/xxx.php"
useProxy="false" method="POST" />
<mx:Model id="loginModel1">
<root>
<loginModel>"loginModel1"</loginModel>
<username>{encodeB64(username.text)}</username>
<password>{encodeB64(password.text)}</password>
</root>
</mx:Model>

Hello jlmoller,
Have you ever had an issue where the encoding / decoding
process ended up prepending the string with extra characters?
This is happening to me

Encode/Decode string from unix shell

Hi,
I am not sure I'm addressing my question properly, but simply I have a stream where I send commands to a shell and when these commands come back from the input stream they don't mean anything as shown below:

I am using the utf-8 for encoding...do I need to decode it and how?
Here is part of my code:
OutputStreamWriter writer = new OutputStreamWriter(sess.getStdin(), "utf-8");
writer.write("my string");
writer.flush();
class StreamGobbler implements Runnable {
        InputStream is;
        OutputStream oi;
        String type;
        ResultBean resultBean;
        StreamGobbler(InputStream is, String type, ResultBean returnValue) {
            this.is = is;
            this.type = type;
            this.resultBean = returnValue;
        @Override
        public void run() {
            try {
                InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(is, "UTF-8");
                BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
                String line = null;
                while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {

            } catch (IOException ioe) {
                System.out.println("IOE Exception in StreamGobbler");
                ioe.printStackTrace();
    }Thanks in advance, i never dealt with encoding/decoding text.

I am pretty sure it is an encoding issue, I'm not convinced because ^H is the ASCII backspace character. Maybe not as I originally thought just some padding but it looks like some form of formatting done the old fashioned way using control characters.
because if I also send this output in an email format and the email renders it a bit differently, then if I copy and paste the text to html page and render it on the screen it look as it is suppose to be.It's definitely not HTML so this does not seem logical.

Here are the ios commands I am issuing:
show int status | inc |gi1/2|gi1/3|gi1/5

ThanksSorry I can't help.

Issue: Characters / encode /decode & Solution

Hey guys,
Few issues on this, I think we will need an encode/decode filter.
I guess this is related to how if you read a cookie in liquid it converts characters like a comma into its entity (This isn not fixed yet).
Example:
<meta property="og:description" content="{{description | strip_html | truncate:200,'...' }}">
The resulting markup is:
<meta property="og:description" content="Seven advisers within National Australia Bank's (NAB) salaried advice business, NAB Financial Planning (NAB FP), have transitioned to the bank’s newly-launched self-employed model.
As first ...">
You can see it has stripped out the html markup but has encoded a ' with it's entity. I can see in some cases this is good but in other cases this is bad. You can also see that <br/> while stripped are treated as new lines instead.
Liquid itself for these reasons have:
escape - escape a string
escape_once - returns an escaped version of html without affecting existing escaped entities
strip_html - strip html from string
strip_newlines - strip all newlines (\n) from string
newline_to_br - replace each newline (\n) with html break
You only have strip_html but not the other filters. I think if you implemented these then we can address these issues.

Hi Liam,
The encoding problem cannot be reproduced. Even in your example, some of the quotes are outputted correctly while a single one not. Can you edit the source of the content and try to re-enter the character from the editor, just to eliminate a possible copy / paste issue from word with a weird character encoding?
On the new line issue, it seems to happen on some scenarios. For example:
{{" <div>Seven advisers within National Australia Bank's (NAB) salaried advice business, NAB Financial Planning (NAB FP), have transitioned to the bank's newly-launched's self-employed <br /> model. at first's</div>" | strip_html }} - does not reproduce the problem
