Keeping query strings despite an automatic 302 redirect

is there anyway for a query string to persist despite an automatic 302 redirect by the server??
for instance if my site has a 'tmp' directory and i want to pass a parameter to the index page in 'tmp'
... but I go to
http://www.mysite.com/tmp?qvar=something
in a browser, the server will automatically do a 302 redirect to
http://www.mysite.com/tmp/
so the query string variable is lost.
i thought about having a filter run, to pick off the query string variable before the redirect, but the filter will only run after the redirect happens.
any insight would be great.
thanks.

Redirects that include a query string

I have three old URIs for which I wish to return 301 redirects back to the client:
http://xyz.com/page.jsp?type=a
http://xyz.com/page.jsp?type=b
http://xyz.com/page.jspI would like them to respectively send redirects to these URIs:
http://xyz.com/pageA.jsp
http://xyz.com/pageB.jsp
http://xyz.com/anypage.jspI added NameTrans rules to my obj.conf as follows:
NameTrans fn="redirect" from="/page.jsp?type=a" url="/pageA.jsp" status="301"
NameTrans fn="redirect" from="/page.jsp?type=b" url="/pageB.jsp" status="301"
NameTrans fn="redirect" from="/page.jsp" url="/anypage.jsp" status="301"However, after making this change and restarting my server, it appears as though the query string is being ignored, as any of the original three URIs is redirected to /anypage.jsp - why is that?
Is there some other way to achieve this short of manually replacing all of the original jsp files with new ones that send a redirect to the desired page?
Thanks,
Bill

A more versatile way of doing this would be to use the regular expression matching and backreferences:
<If defined $query
and $query =~ "type=(.*)" >
NameTrans fn="redirect" uri="$urlhost/page$1.jsp"
</If>This will catch any query string contains type=VALUE and redirect that to host/pageVALUE.jsp . This allows you to have just one if stanza rather than requiring a new if stanza for each possible match (which, while it works, can quickly grow into a nightmare for a sysadmin to have to manage).

_layouts/Authenticate.aspx losing Query String Parameters in redirection

Hi,
we are losing query strings when _layouts/Authenticate.aspx redirects to a application page after user authentication.
Example shown below
http Request is shown below
/_layouts/Authenticate.aspx?Source=http://ourwebsite.com/somepage.aspx?paramapp=testapp&paramdata=testdata
redirection happens fine, but all the query string expect the first gets truncated.
In the above the example paramdata gets truncated

Hi Chandan,
please have a check if should this situation applied, i just talked with my colleague regarding this,
if you are using OOB, there are a set on AAM that may not eligible to do so, for example there is an encoding feature on it, sharepoint by design may not able to receive this because security concern.
"When the AAM redirect is configured requests for data that doesn't exist in the local farm is directed to another farm. If this request contains a query string, the query string is dropped"

Jsp:forward param not getting included in my query string

Hi,
On a particular JSP page, mine.jsp, I am forwarding to a servlet ...
<jsp:useBean id="HotelResortDBBean" class="com.lvcva.database.HotelResortDBBean" scope="request" />
<jsp:forward page="/meetings/meeting-venues/results">
<jsp:param name="sqftRange" value="${empty param.meetingsqft ? -1 : param.meetingsqft}" />
</jsp:forward>This forwards to a servlet, when I query "request.getQueryString", it comes up null. However, when I enter the URL, "mine.jsp?sqftRange=-1", the query string returns "sqftRange=-1" as expected. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong in the above that is causing the jsp:param to not be added to the query string?
- Dave

a forward does not create a new request, and thus the query string is not altered. If you want the query string to change, use a redirect in stead.
note: even though the query string does not change, the new parameter IS added to the HttpServletRequest object, so you can still fetch the new parameter from it even with the forward.

Query strings?

Hey,
I'm fairly new to html and web design, but I'm wondering: why does Muse add query strings on every static resource url? There must be a reason I don't understand, but removing them all manually works, thus my question.
Thx in advance for the answers.
Alucryd

Static HTML/CSS/JS is most often cached in the browser. These strings prevent that caching.
explained:

Removing the strings is not ideal if you intend to update the page later.

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.

QSUF (Query string url filter) and SQL Server reporting services report viewer parameters

Hi,
this is my issue:
I have a SQL Server reporting services web part on a page with a report with 1 parameter, lets say it's a client list
Then i have a QSUF that will be used to filter the clients list through the URL
However, once i connect the filter and the report viewer web part, the parameter goes away and is no longer accessible
I'd like to somehow keep the parameter visible, in case there is no parameter sent through the URL, i would like the user to be able to choose a client from the parameter drop down list
I saw that there is a "send empty if no values are passed" option, but i can't seem to get this working properly and i don't know if this option will make the parameter visible again
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that the query string url filter web part not worked well with SQL server reproting services web part.
Did you use the Wiki page layout in your environment?
You can change the page to a web part page, then check whether it work.
There is a similar thread for your reference.

How do I add a record's primary key to a query string and add that to an .xml catalog?

Hello everyone,
I am using Dreamweaver CS3 on a MacBook Pro Leopard 10.5.6 and MAMP 1.7. I am also teaching myself how to work with PHP and MySQL, using David Powers book The Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS3.
I am trying to create a wedding photography web site, with a personal page after login, which will display the photographs of the customers wedding.
The same page will also be a catalog/shopping cart, so the customer can choose which photo's they want, and pay for them. (I am aware that there are instructions in The Essential Guide in chapter 15 page 515, on how to redirect to a personal page, but it doesn't fully cover what I am asking).
I have already created the login success page, which greets users by name, as per the instructions in The Essential Guide. I have also created a catalog page. However my catalog page is not calling information from the database, instead it is taking information from an XML page using PHP.
I would like to insert a list menu on the login success page, which lists the customers name, and when they select their name they will then select a link that will take them to a personal page with just their wedding photographs.
I am unsure of how to pass the customer_id, in what will be the username list menu, to the page which will contain the customers set of wedding images.
Is it the same process used in chapter 14 where you add a record's primary key to a query string?
I am asking because when I set up a recordset from the MySQL database it lists the images as witten names not actual images, I have tried calling the images with PHP code but it just doesn't work.
The catalog page I have set up at the moment is not calling the images from the database, but directly from the image folder.
Is what I am trying to do possible?
If so how do I pass the customer_id and username to a recordset and link that recordset to the xml catalog so the customers personal wedding images are displayed on the catalog page for the shopping cart? I need step by step instructions, or maybe a link to a good tutorial.
Can somebody help me please?
Thankyou.

How to get the original query string in an event receiver when dialogs are enabled

I have scenario where I am adding a document to a document library which has an external data column on it. My goal for this column is to have it automatically populated with an appropriate value based on original query string to the page. The general
idea is that I am on a custom page that has various webparts on it including a view of my document library that is context sensative based on the query string, and I want to use that context sensitivity not just to filter the list but also when adding documents.
I have been searching around for solutions to this problem all day and have gotten this far:
I have an event receiver attached to my document library that handles the ItemAdded event syncronously (as such I have the new list item available to me). In that event receiver I am able to set the column values as required. Where I am stuck is on getting
the value from the query string that I need to actually set as the column value.
Based on:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepoint2010programming/thread/8cfcb299-9a55-4139-86ec-0b53b2922a54 and several similar articles/posts I have been able to get the original source Url with the query string I want via the following
code in my event receiver:
private HttpContext context;
public EventReceiver1()
context = HttpContext.Current;
public override void ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties)
var originalQueryString = context.Request.QueryString["Source"];
// Parse the query string and use the value ...
The problem is that this solution breaks down if the dialogs are turned on under the advanced settings for the list. The reason the solution fails is because the "Source" query string parameter goes away and is replaced by "IsDlg" set to a value of "1".
Does anyone know how to get past this hurdle? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Stuart,
The reason I'm looking for "Source" in the query string is because that is something I found to be reliable when the Dialogs are turned off. I've dug around pretty deep in the Request object to see if anything had the data I was looking for and unfortunately
it doesn't appear to be there. The
context.Request.QUeryString.ToString()
returns a rather simple one of:
List=%7b43ECDCB0-8440-4652-B067-AA20481779D7%7d&RootFolder=&IsDlg=1
and the
context.Request.UrlReferrer.Query.ToString()
has the same value.
I suspect this is due to the dual step process that takes place in adding an item to a document library where the first modal popup (which I suspect likely has the information I need) gives you the opportunity to browse to your file and then the second
dialog (maybe this is getting brought up as a result of another request which is now referring back to the original request that brought up the first dialog?) where you edit your properties.
Thanks for the try though, if you've got anything else I'd love to hear it.

Read Query String Parameter Value in SSRS

Hi,
We have Project Server 2010 and Sharepoint Server 2010 env and using SSRS 2008 R2 for reporting purpose in Native mode.
Here I am displaying the SSRS Project report in Project Server page using Report Viewer web part like below.
Here I want to read projuid query string parameter value (Highlighthed above in URL ) in SSRS by using any way, so that I can pass that
projuid value in my SSRS report parameter to filter and make this report dynamic.
Right now I have to select the ProjectName (Label) which passes ProjUID
as value from the Parameter, but I want it should read the projuid
from URL so that this reports will display the project the data for the opened Project automatically
Thanks and let me know in case we can achive this using OOTB or some custom functions.

Hi,
For the report parameter, you can get the value from database query or some embedded funcitons etc. or even some customerized function.
You may consider to create your own code for the report to read the projuid from application or URL. The customer code can be used to get the values from the applicaiton or from the url etc. Then report can call the customer code function to get the value.

How can I use today's date as default value in query string filter web part in SharePoint

I have a query string filter on my web part page. I am trying to figure out how I can set it's default value to Today? I can't find anything online...

Hi,
Per my understanding, you might want to set a default value to the Query String Filter Web Part.
It would not be able to set default value to the Query String Filter Web Part with the OOTB features available.
By default, with a Query String Filter Web Part in the current page, we can filter other web part in the same page by adding parameters and values in the address bar
of browser.
If setting the “Query String Parameter Name” of a Query String Filter Web Part as “t”, then we can filter the corresponding connected web part by inputting such an
URL into the address bar:
http://sharepoint/SitePages/Page1.aspx?t=value1
Suppose you want to filter the list view with a value dynamically when user opens this page, as a workaround, we can generate an URL with the parameters needed when
page loaded, then redirect user to this URL afterwards. This can be achieved using JavaScript.

Need Help With Java Query String

I'm new to Java and I'm passing data via a URL to another page(I'm not using a form). I have been succesfull in decoding the string to return the name value below:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function decodeSearchString() {
var nameValue = new Array();
var searchStr = unescape(location.search.substring(1));
if (searchStr) {
var formElement = searchStr.split("&");
var tmpArray = new Array();
for (k = 0; k < formElement.length; k++) {
tmpArray = formElement[k].split("=");
nameValue[tmpArray[0]] = tmpArray[1];
return nameValue
var srchData = decodeSearchString();
</SCRIPT>
However, now I need to add the value returned from the above srcipt to the Java script listed below:
<SCRIPT Language="Javascript" SRC="#srchData.link#?open&pID=PAR"> </SCRIPT>
This above script if working will add the HTML from the URL query to the page, but I keep getting a Java Error with this script. Please Help !

I assume you are using a JSP page and not just solely doing Javascript. IF you are using JSP, then read on. Otherwise, I can revisit your script.
To obtain the value of the query string, you would use a method call such as:
String strQuery = request.getQueryString()
Or, to get a single parameter off the query string, you can call:
String strSearchData = request.getParameter("paramname");
Or, if you want all the parameters and values instead of just one long string you can call:
Enumeration enumParamNames = request.getParameterNames();
You can use the above enumeration in combination with getParameter() to get the values.
In order to build your script line and add the query string, you would then do something like this:
<SCRIPT Language="Javascript" SRC="#<%=strSearchData%>.link#?open&pID=PAR"> </SCRIPT>
Notice the <%= %> block in the above code.
I hope that is what you were looking for. Your example is somewhat confusing so I may have answered wrong.

Dealing with invalid query strings

I have created a mysql/php site with master and product detail pages. The product details are filtered via a url query string
e.g. domain/proddetail.php?productID=38
This all works fine except for the case when a product is deleted and the productID is no longer valid. Because Google continues to index these pages vsitors then get a page displaying no data .
How do I gracefully deal with these invalid productIDs? Preferbly I want to redirect to a error404 page so that Gogle delists but simply displaying a product not found notice would be better than nothing.
Thanks

In your proddetail.php page, test the recordset rowcount - if it is zero, redirect to your 404 page.
