[SOLVED] Encoded URL's are Re-Encoded When Clicked
Some of our users here are copying URL's of relevant files [from one of our sites] and pasting them into Excel.
As the need arises, they refer back to the Excel document and click the link to retrieve the document.
When clicked the already-encoded URL's:
https://sub.domain/some/path/to/files/My%20Super%20Long%20File%20Name-Thats%20Already%20Encoded.pdf
Are getting encoded a second time, which result in a URL like:
https://sub.domain/some/path/to/files/My%2520Super%2520Long%2520File%2520Name-Thats%2520Already%2520Encoded.pdf
This naturally won't work because its now literally looking for a file called "My%20Super%20Long%20File%20Name-Thats%20Already%20Encoded.pdf" which of course doesn't exist.
The URL's in Excel appear normal in the cells themselves.
The editing the actual hyperlink confirms its also correct there as well.
The URL's also look normal in the formula bar.
I've reproduced this behavior on multiple company machines: Windows 7 x64 Enterprise SP1 with Office ProPlus 2010 32-bit.
I was also able to reproduce this on vanilla Windows 7 VM's in Hyper-V using Office ProPlus 2010 and 2013. Although domain joined, they're in an OU with blocked inheritance enabled and no linked GPO's.
I can't figure out where the problem is: Excel, Windows, IIS or something else?
Hi,
I’ve done a test for this situation, but the url won’t change after reopening the file.
1. A pdf file in SharePoint, and the file name contains some spaces which is the same with customers.
2. Input the SharePoint URL into Excel, and each spaces has been replaced by %20
3. Then, I can open the file in IE
4. After I closed the website and excel file, I could open it in IE again and the URL didn’t change.
As you mentioned in the ticket “Are getting encoded a second time, which result in a URL like”, may I know if the re-encoding was done automatically or manually? Based on the test result, it won’t encode a second automatically.
If it is done manually, the issue should be most likely caused by the space character being encoded twice, because the space character is encoded as %20 as our two url show. However, based on your second url, it turned into %2520, Since the % character
is encoded as %25, it should be a result of a double encoded. Actually, URLs need their characters to be in a specific format, ASCII characters, so that browsers can correctly interpret and parse the data. For every ASCII character in URLs, it will be encoded
a string starting with %, and % is also an ASCII character in URLs and encoded to %25. If we double encode a URL, which results that every ASCII character in the URL will be encoded a string starting with %25, and that the URL becomes invalid. Therefore, I
suggest you name the file using
alpha-numeric
characters
only or do not encode it twice.
If it is done automatically, since you have reproduced the issue on multiple machines, could you please help check the following Excel settings in several machines to make comparisons with each other.
Excel Option>Advanced, Scroll to the General section and click Web Options, select Encoding
If it possible, would you mind sharing a test file with me to do a test from my end?

I am a mac dummie, recently transfered so foolproof guidance will be helpfull!
(Unfortunatly.. and now I know the importance, I haven't used time-machine and my mac isn't backed up. If i restore to factory settings I will loose the 600+ photos and videos I had in my iPhoto Library.... which dissapeared, which is the whole reason why I created the first thread)
Thank you!!Linc:
It appeared to me that somehow the OP's Picture folder was converted into an iPhoto Library as his screenshot of the PIctures folder looked like the inside of a library.
This statement by the OP make me think it might be more than just an iPhoto issue (the bold text):
I am unable to drag the Picture folder to the desktop, It wont move, and iPhoto (which is still empty) just opens.

Cannot send email when clicking lonk on web page
I cannot send email when clicking link on web page.
When I would click the link to send via email I was being directed to hotmail to open new account.
Today the tech tried to assist me and completely messed up my email capabilities by setting up
windows live account.
I am thoroughly disgusted with FIOS internet services..Every time I've called them in the past month problem has been with someone else whose portal services they are using.
I cannot send emails because all my contact information cannot be moved.
I'm paying for FIOS internet service that is almost non existent.
THe VZ in home agent doesn't work nor does the FIOS information site.
My next move is to get rid of FIOS.
They create more problems then they solve with me.If I understand your problem correctly, you are having trouble when clicking on a MailTo link on any webpage? What loads when you click this type of link is a setting in your browser. If you tell us what browser you are using, we can try to direct you to the setting.

How to Get the value when clicking on the link
I had a problem with when clicking on the link.
I need get the link value to the controller when clicking on the link.
I am displaying the database columns in jsp using repeater in links.
I am displaying the data like this:
RED
BLUE
GREEN
these are three links.when clicking on the link RED. RED should go to the controller.
After getting RED to the controller i will get the RED value from the database.my requirement is like that only
I have just given the example of emp and dept
emp(empno,zone_group_id,zone_id,deptno,ename,emp_p_ind,last_update_datetime);
dept_emp(empno,dept_no,loc,dname,sal_emp,grade,last_update_datetime);
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW emp_zone AS
SELECT e.empno,
(select zone_group_id from price_zone_group where rownum = 1) zone_group_id,
d.loc zone_id,
d.grade,
d.last_update_datetime,
FROM dept_emp d
emp e
WHERE d.empno=e.empno
AND e.emp_p_ind = 'Y'
WITH READ ONLY;
Now
my requirement is to get the data of emp_zone view and needs to store those data into some other temp table
if any of the above base table got updated deleted or inserted then the view last_updatetime also will get updated but problem is why im not using base table
direct because it is having huge data and it performance issue .i have to get the value on the basis of view only and using some logic -
A peculiar problem with encode url
Hi,
I have the following code snippet in jsp
<a href="<%=urlencoder.encode("cxc.jsp?P1=RWDS") %">> Rewards</a>
But when this page is requested, the oracle application server responds with response 404 stating requested url not found.we aer using oracle application server 10g release 2.
But without encoding the response is correctly displayed.
has it got to do anything with encoding? or will it be required to change the code.
But the same encoded url works perfectly fine on iplanet application server.
Thanks in advanceI was able to solve this by including the google code in an external PHP file as well. However if my template has a repeating region in it, and my contribute user adds a region from it, it breaks the code again :/
Are there any other suggestions out there?? -
Both After Effects & Adobe Media Encode CC giving are not letting me export.
Dear All,
Both After Effects & Adobe Media Encode CC giving are not letting me export movies.
Some times they will, but after one file both programs give me the following error messages.
After effects:
“[file path and name].mov. An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted. (-1610153464)"
AME:
"Can't read from source."
I've went through the forum and found threads & pages discussing the problem.
E.g.
http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2013/08/solutions-for-problems-with-quicktime-files-in -after-effects-cc-12-0-because-of-conflict-with-dvcprohdvideoout-quicktime-component.html
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1252092
After following all the tips and suggestions (from deinstalling quicktime components & audio components to completely reinstalling CC) I'm still experiencing the problems.
Which leaves me in a bit of a squeeze. I need to export over 144 movies in the coming 2 days and the only way to do this is to quit and open media encoder (or AE) after each single export.
Not really an option.
Both problems have the process Adobe QT sever in common, I took this from the console:
9/26/13 1:02:44.517 PM com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[171]: ([0x0-0x42042].com.adobe.Adobe QT32 Server.application[331]) Job appears to have crashed: Segmentation fault: 11
9/26/13 1:02:44.672 PM ReportCrash[354]: Saved crash report for Adobe QT32 Server[331] version 7.0.1 (7.0.1.0) to /Users/martijn/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/Adobe QT32 Server_2013-09-26-130244_martijns-MacBook-Pro-2.crash
System information:
Retina MacBook Pro (Mid 2012) (16gb ram)
Mac OS X 10.8.5 (12F37)
Running Adobe CC (for teams), all apps are up-to-date.
I don't no why Adobe puts out such a buggy piece of software (I know it has to with Apple's poor 32bit quicktime implimentation, but hey, this was known information no?).
Upgrading to CC has given our office nothing but problems.
Hope someone can help to find a work around until Adobe realeases a proper update and solves this problem once and for all.
All help is much appreciated.
Kind regards,
MartijnHello Tim,
Thanks for the really quick response!
Regarding the crash log: it doesn't reference com.apple.audio.CoreAudio (though it did before, so I followed all the steps in your blog post before I posted to this forum).
I've uploaded the crashlog to:
http://martijnlambada.com/TMP/AdobeQT32servercrash.zip
If you want to inspect it. It mentions the DXV codec (which I also uninstalled), but the crash keeps occuring. Also I need to export to DXV since it's the only codec the d3 media
server accepts (http://d3technologies.com).
I followed all the steps in the troubleshooting steps.
Codecs used: I've tried everything from animation to Apple ProRes (including: h264/motion jpeg/uncompressed). With all codecs the Adobe QT32 server keeps crashing (though I can't always reproduce).
Export destination: Internal SSD (same as where the OS is installed on) + External raid (via firewire & thunderbolt) + external HD via usb 3.0 (tried everything).
When does the problem start: Really hard to specify, sometimes a day without crashes, sometimes every export for days on end. Sometime after restarting (tried logging out, restarting, switching off and on the computer). With other programs running and with out. Now checking every process active when exporting, and comparing log files.
Can you export to other formats: See question 1, sometimes I can, sometimes not.
When you launch AE and/or AME, is QT32 Server running? At what point does it stop running? Still runing when I open the program. It crashes when exporting (ofter after finishing the first export).
What component files are in your Library/QuickTime folder?: Currently the folowing:
AppleAVCIntraCodec
AppleHDVCodec.component
AppleIntermediateCodec.component
AppleMPEG2Codec.component
AppleProResCodec.component
DesktopVideoOut.component
DVCPROHDCodec.component
DVCPROHDMuxer.component
DVCPROHDVideoDigitizer.component
DVCPROHDVideoOutput.component
DVCPROHDVideoOutputClock.component
FCP Uncompressed 422.component
iChatTheaterPreview.component
IMXCodec.component
LiveType.component
Hope this helps.
Cheers,

A wierd problem while encoding URLs
Hi all,
I'm facing a wierd problem with the java.net.URLEncoder class. The encode function in this class is used for encoding URL based on standards like "UTF-8" etc..
I need to encode the URLs, because i have to send this information in a XML to another server.. Here's what the URLEncoder is doing if i give it the URL
http://mydomain.com:80/myServlet?_fileName=filename.mp3&_useStreaming=true
its encoding this as
http%3A%2F%2Fmydomain.com%3A80%2FmyServlet%3F_fileName%3Dfilename.mp3%26_useStreaming%3Dtrue
but, all I wanted is to encode only '&' character ( as XML misinterprets this character with schemes ).
So, my question is .. is there any way that i can selectively encode the characters in the URL?
Any help wud be appriciated in this regard. :-)I accept what you are saying.. URLEncoder encodes any string that's passed to it..
I infact have two different problems in hand.. The reason i mentioned only one above is because the solution to the first problem cud as well solve the second.. Anyway, here's the second problem ...
I'm recieving an XML from a server, where i get the URL info and i have to download the CONTENT from that URL.. Sample xml is given below
<Music>
<Singer>Tata Young</Singer>
<contentURL>http://myMusic.com/sexy naughty.mp3</contentURL>
</Music>
if you see the URL in the xml, that infact contains spaces in it.. I have my logic which checks if the given URL is a absolute URL or relative URL
if( relative URL)
I append "http://domain name:" stuff to make it absolute
else
i connect to the URL directly to get the Content
I'm using
URI i = new URI(str);
i.isAbsolute() method to determine whether its a absolute URL or not..
but this method doesn't seem to work for URLs that have spaces in them.. So, i encoded the URL and tried passing it to the method.. but it still doesn't work..
I probed into URI class itself and found out to my amazement that URI class assumes that URL contains only alpha numeric characters and few special characters like '+' , '/' , ':' etc..
Since the encoded URL has '%' character in it.. its not able to say that its a absolute URL.. Tht's the reason I asked for selective encoding.. ( say, which encodes only [space] character).. -

Has anyone else seen this behavior lately? (current workaround is to store locally and transfer to the cluster via Finder)That error can happen for many reasons...one of the reasons that I occassionaly get it is because I try exporting a movie to an external drive that has been formated in the old FAT32 instead of the NTSF standard. FAT32 only allows for file sizes up to 2 gigs. And as soon as it reaches that...I would get that error. I don't know if that is why you are getting that error...but it would be easy to check. 1) are you generating a file that is over 2 gigs? 2) is your drive that you are exporting to FAT 32 (just right click the drive in My Computer and select "properties" then just look for what it says next to "file system".

Hello All,
I want to encode URL in my jsp code such that when the jsp is rendered and if user sees the source code then the url should not be shown.
Is this possible ?
Thanksif user sees the source code then the url should not be shownIf html source code doesn't contain the URLs then how will browser know where to send HTTP request? It is like saying "I sent my sister a $100 bank cheque but didn't sign it because I don't want her to know who has sent it."

Encoded Files (.m2v) are not recognised.
Hello,
My encoded files (.m2v) are not recognised. The icon shows the blank page istead of the normal .m2v icon. and when i try to import into DVD SP 4 it unexpectedly quits.
what would i need to reinstall to fix this? i have no idea how it happened, i came back from out of town and it was like this.
thanks, Nick
Dual 2GHz PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)You'll probably have better luck by posting this in the DVDSP forum.
Anyway, the blank icon is not a good sign. Is the filesize of these files anywhere close to what you'd expect them to be?
Are you using Compressor to create the files or a some other program?
To me, this sounds like your encoder quit partway through the process. -
