Is it possbile to get URL from the browser address bar?

Hi
I'm in the process of creating a JITIR agent in java that takes in the url of the website that the user presently viewing.
I don't want the user to have to copy or type in to my app the websites URL. Is it possbile to get this from the process e.g. The browser address bar, or the HTTP:// request sent by the browser.
Any thoughts gratefully recieved.

Short URL in the browser address bar

Hi we are using Robo Help product. we launched it on Apache Tomcat server.
When we publish a project in an area and try to view that, the URL in the address bar is displayed very long with % characters and other junk.
can anyone please let me know how to customize the URL? a user friendly URL in place of the long URL. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi Colum,
can you please explain these 2 points from your posts. I am very new to Robohelp so I am not able to understand some of these terms
1. When the help is called (e.g. through an API call) the end user sees a much shorter URL along the lines of what Mayank has provided.
2. If you are wanting to shorten the actual URL that is returned by your browser, why would you want to? I wouldn't even go there as it will depend on the browser being used.
I am attaching the screenshot which explains you clearly about my requirement in a sequence.
1 st screenshot shows you the login screen
2nd screenshot shows the projects window where in if we click on that displays the projects
3rd screenshot shows the project 'CCC' and when we click on View Project opens 4th screenshot
If you see the URL in screenshot it contains lot of % characters and other junk. I want a user friendly URL in place of that. can you please help me? I have to put this in place Friday, anyhelp on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for looking into this.

How to change the InfoView logo [Favicon] from the browsers address bar.

Hi All,
I am launching an Infoview in a new web browser from the netWeaver portal through a link.
The favicon for potal is changed on the portal server.
How I can change the InfoView logo[Favicon] from the browsers address bar?
If anybody knows where that image is located on the BOE server where I can replace the icon with my company icon?
Please advise!
Awaiting Reply!
Smita Thorat

Hi,
the icon has the name favicon.ico and can be found in the root folder of the Web AS /Portal.
Favicons are images of the size 16x16 or 32x32 pixel in the Icon format (image/x-icon) and files have an .ico extension.
You can either change the standard sap favicon directly on the WebAs server wich needs might be done after each support package.
Regards,
Kai

Can't type in the browser address bar

everytime i upgrade firefox now i lose a bit more functionality... before when i opened a new tab i had to click the google homepage button in order to type in the browser address bar.. now i upgraded again and can't type in the google bar or the address bar at all.. the only reason i got to this page with firefox is because it was my homepage..
i hate to not use firefox as i love it.. but chrome is starting to look better. :(

Thanks for this.
Only problem I have no "org.mozilla.firefox.plist" file that I can find (I can find a whole bunch of others relating to other software), nothing for Firefox.
Add to my whoes the fact I even tried re-setting my Firefox installation.
All that gave me was a much worse version of Firefox without all my add-ons and the same bloody problem with it still not recognising any keyboard input.
Also add the fact it's taken half a day to re-build Firefox to the point I had it before from various backups (thank the gods for FEBE).
so i now have a re-constituted version of Firefox (still re-building Speedial) with the same problem.
I solved the same problem with IE (yea I have almost browsers on my machine as I am a developer), by re-installing Java.
Hey ho, onwards we go.

Get certificate from the browser

Hi friends!,
I am working with an application to get files from the client machine, to sign those files with the client's certificate and send those sign to the server.
The application get the client's certificate from a key store, but I want the applet will get the certificate from the browser.
Is that possible?.
Thanks and sorry for my little english. Greetings from Venezuela.

If all you're looking for is Client SSL Authentication, then you don't need to access the digital certificates through an applet; just enable ClientAuth on your web-server and let the browser handle it for you. While I haven't tried this with Chrome, Safari or Opera, I know for a fact that this works on Firefox and IE.
If you're trying to access the digital certificates/keys in the browser-keystore for digitally signing some content that the applet creates, you're going to have far more difficulty. About 10-12 years ago, Netscape provided an API that allowed you to digitally sign text-content through JavaScript. That died a quiet death, I think, since I don't know of anyone who used that capability (outside of test environments).
Years later, Mozilla added the ability to digitally sign XML content using XForms; there is even an add-on for Thunderbird (which uses the same libraries as Firefox for PKCS work): https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/4522/.
However, to the best of my knowledge, the only way you can get an applet to access the borwser's keystore today is to have the security policy on the client-machine modified to provide access to the local file-system, and the applet then pretty much deals with the keystore and its objects through JCE.
But, if I'm reading your post correctly, I think all you're looking for is SSL ClientAuth, for which you don't need to do anything other than enable it on your web-server that hosts the applets, and let the browser do the heavy lifting.

Drag and drop a URL from IE's address bar

I have a Processing application written (by others) that uses [Andreas Schlagel's sDrop library|http://www.sojamo.de/libraries/drop/] to accept URLs dragged and dropped from the users' browsers' address bar. The application works fine for Chrome and for Firefox and for old versions of IE but not for IE 9 or IE 10. I'm investigating how to fix this.
In the sDrop library [the Java code to handle the drop|http://code.google.com/p/sojamo/source/browse/trunk/src/sojamo/drop/DropHandler.java] uses the Java class DataFlavor which in turn defines a number of flavours:
imageFlavor
javaFileListFlavor
javaSerializedObjectMimeType
plainTextFlavor (deprecated)
stringFlavor
Over on StackOverflow one questioner enumerates the data formats offered by the different browsers when they drop and for IE he lists:
UntrustedDragDrop
msSourceUrl
FileGroupDescriptor
FileGroupDescriptorW
FileContents
UniformResourceLocator
Effects: Link
The URL format does not seem to match the DataFlavors given by the class. Is this where the two additional DataFlavors, javaJVMLocalObjectMimeType and javaRemoteObjectMimeType come into there own? If so, then can someone point me at any samples, examples, tutorials, or code snippets where a Java application is the successful drop target for a URL dragged from IE's address bar?

Dragging an URL '''OR''' the 'favicon' does '''NOT''' work when you want to drag this to a sub 'folder' in your bookmarks. e.g. I drag an URL or favicon to Bookmarks, I have a sub-folder called 'Recipes' where I want to drop the dragged object. I position the mouse over 'Recipes' and the sub-menu appears. I move the dragged object to drop this on the recipe list in the sub-menu and the sub-menu simply disappears. Equally, I CAN drop this on the top level BM menu but it does not drop in the place needed (I want this (e.g.) NOT at the bottom but two up from there. What happens is that the dropped URL appears to locate it self in a random position. Easy to replicate by dragging the same URL to the BM menu and it drops wherever it feels like. FF team have clearly failed to do some basic testing on this and there are many (correction MANY) other annoying things like this that show there has been poor or insufficient testing. I have been a fan of FF for a long time and recommended it to others. Now I cannot do this with confidence and am seriously thinking of switching back to an old version. However, I might simply go to Chrome. Are you listening FF team? A simple look at the forums will show the groundswell of annoyed people. You have altered the way many things work, seemingly focusing on prettifying things rather than ensuring stability and ensuring basic features continue to work...

How do we get URL to display in address bar on reinstall'd FF 28.0 ?

FF used to show the URL in what I THINK is called the "address bar" such that we cd rt click to save link location and know exactly where we are.
Now it only shows the Subject - which is REDUNDANT bc that subj. is already displayed . . . which is wasted space, which in turn MATTERS on small screens.
I have been looking around and can't find any info about options on how to show URL instead of repeating subj.
Where do I go ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Thanks !

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

How can I make firefox work wisth a windows xp computer? I don't have an address bar , a backup key. I can get away from the firefox add-on screen. It is basically inoperable

After installing the new version of Firefox on an Windows xp computer I cannot use the internet. There is no address bar for entering a URL, there's not back up arrow, I can't get away from the Firefox add-on screne.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).
If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
*Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize"
*If missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

Using firefox 37.0.1 windows 7. open a tab (right click) it's blank. copy and paste and go the url from the tab into a new private window and it works.

Opening a tab (right click on a url) and I get an empty/blank window.
If I copy the url from the emty/blank tab and then open a new private browsing window and do a paste and go, everything works.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

Calling browser/URL from the link on webpage

Dear Experts,
My requirement is, I have a webdynpro component, I need to add a link on particular view which calls another webpage(either in a new window or in same window) if I click on that.
To fulfill my requirement I used CALL_BROWSER FM.
The problem here is am getting dump from the FM.
Dump text:
Error in the ABAP Application Program
The current ABAP program "CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES======CP" had to be
terminated because it has
come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
Am getting this error from cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute (inside CALL_BROWSER)
Please guide me how to proceed here (I guess I should not use CALL_BROWSER since already am in browser).

To open a URL in a separate window you can use the following code,
data lo_window_manager type ref to if_wd_window_manager.
data lo_api_component type ref to if_wd_component.
data lo_window         type ref to if_wd_window.
lo_api_component = wd_comp_controller->wd_get_api( ).
lo_window_manager = lo_api_component->get_window_manager( ).
CALL METHOD lo_window_manager->CREATE_EXTERNAL_WINDOW
EXPORTING
    URL            = 'http://www.google.co.in/'
    MODAL          = ABAP_FALSE
    HAS_MENUBAR    = ABAP_TRUE
    IS_RESIZABLE   = ABAP_TRUE
    HAS_SCROLLBARS = ABAP_TRUE
    HAS_STATUSBAR = ABAP_TRUE
    HAS_TOOLBAR    = ABAP_TRUE
    HAS_LOCATION   = ABAP_TRUE
RECEIVING
    WINDOW         = lo_window.lo_window->open( ).
Hope it helps!

Can not copy a URL from the address bar/line

Why is it proving so difficult for me to copy a URL from the address bar using Safari? When I click on the link I want to copy, it does not highlight. I have used Command L and Command C, and that works but there has to be a simpler way. I also read that if I click the address bar once, then press the control key and click on it again that a menu would appear with cut, paste, copy. That does happen, but all options are greyed out, and not selectable. Another google search resulted in someone saying there was a button or arrow to click on and that this tool would copy the URL.
The URL I am copying is very long, longer that the address bar window
What Gives Here?

Click the icon (favicon) to the left of the URL.
That will select the entire URL.
Command C will copy the URL.

Powerpivot Error on Refresh -- "We couldn't get data from the data model..."

I'm using Excel 2013 and Windows 8.1. I have a spreadsheet I've been using for over a year, and I've just started getting this error message when I try to refresh the data.
"We couldn't get data from the Data Model. Here's the error message we got:
The 'attributeRelationship' with 'AttributeID' - 'PuttDistCat9' doesn't exist in the collection"
Any idea how I can fix this problem? I haven't changed anything related to that particular attribute. All the data is contained in separate sheets in the workbook, so there are no external sources of data.
Thanks.
Jean

Thanks for all the suggestions.
I found a slightly older version of the spreadsheet that still refreshes properly, so I don't think I have any issues with the version of Excel or Power Query. (I've had this same error before, and I believe I applied the hotfix at that time.)
I think this problem started after I updated a number of the date filters in the pivot tables. I haven't made any changes to the data model, and the only updates I've made were to add data (which I do all the time), and to change the date filters on
the pivot tables.
As suggested, I added a new pivot table querying one table (the table with the attribute that shows up in the error message), and it worked fine. I can also refresh this pivot table.
Then I tried adding a pivot table which went against several tables in the data model (including the table in question). The pivot table seemed to return that data properly. However, when I tried to refresh it, I got the same error message ("we
couldn't get data from the data model...").
Dany also suggested running the queries one at a time to see which one is in error. Without checking all the pivot tables, it appears that any which use the table "HolePlayedStrokes" generate the error (this is the table with the attribute
mentioned in the error message). Pivot Tables without that particular table seem to refresh OK. Unfortunately, that is the main table in my data model, so most of the pivot tables use it.
Any other suggestions? I'd be happy to send a copy of the spreadsheet.
Thanks for all the help.
Jean

Could you please tell me why as a Brit resident in Japan therefore having a billing address that is Japanese is forced to only get service from the Japanese online store? Is there not some way of allowing me to select movies and music to buy and download

Could you please tell me why as a Brit resident in Japan therefore having a billing address that is Japanese is forced to only get service from the Japanese online store? Is there not some way of allowing me to select movies and music to buy and download from other stores. Why do am i forced to try to nread Japanese when I have selected English as my language. The price for Downloads is no different and even if it was I am happy to pay. This also applies to Movie rental which is crazy and extremely restrictive. I a supposed GLOBAL community why does Apple do this.

You can buy ONLY from the itunes store of your country of residence (As proven by valid billing address of credit card) and ONLY while inside the borders of that country.
These are the terms of the itunes store.
