Unescaping URL Encoded Strings

Anyone know how to unescape URL encoded strings using XSL? I can use the translate() function to replace the + signs with spaces but the %3F and %3E style characters are causing problems. The escaped characters are in an XML doc.
Any help would be appreciated.

I have a string in URL encoded format. How do I unencode?

I'm sure there is a single command for this but I can't find it, so my workaround is a long list of 'replace' commands :-(
                vari = vari.replace(/%22/g,"'");
                vari = vari.replace(/%20/g," ");
                vari = vari.replace(/%3C/g,"<");
etc.

Reverse the url-encoded process

Hi there,
Is it possible to flash rebuild a string that as been
url-encoded?
Thanks,

Hi David thanks for your reply.
It seems that my problem is not url-encoded.
I have a flash with a sendAndLoad vars to a coldfusion file.
The coldfusion is suppose to return a XML object. Instead it
returns a
String because the XML special characters [ <, >, " ]
are converted to
[<, >, "].
I think this problem is because you can have a programming
language based on
tags directly written in coldfusion (also a programming
language based on
tags). Like when you write html formatting text in an xml
structure. The xml
structure will assume tags like <br/> as a child Node
instead of a tag
content.
So I had to make some functions to replace special characters
in a string.
I don't agree with this solution, but it was the only thing I
came up with.
Thanks

this should be in the as3 forum. but you need to return name/value pairs from your php file.

URL encode a string before redirecting it

What must I do? I have tried this but it did not work.

What must I do to URL encode a string before redirecting it. I have written a simple method which temporarily takes care of this for me, but I want to use the accepted standard. Please somebody tell what I must do.

admin_type)); response.encodeRedirectURL() and .encodeURL() do not replace unsafe URL characters; I'm assuming that's what you want happening; they're meant to encode the session id in the URL for session tracking.
Quote from http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/api/javax/servlet/http/HttpServletResponse.html#encodeRedirectUrl(java.lang.String):
Encodes the specified URL by including the session ID in it, or, if encoding is not needed, returns the URL unchanged. The implementation of this method includes the logic to determine whether the session ID needs to be encoded in the URL. For example, if the browser supports cookies, or session tracking is turned off, URL encoding is unnecessary.
For robust session tracking, all URLs emitted by a servlet should be run through this method. Otherwise, URL rewriting cannot be used with browsers which do not support cookies.
Like mentioned above, use the URLEncoder.encode() ( with two params ): http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/net/URLEncoder.html#encode(java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String)

XML to URL Encoded (XSLT?)

I have some data in a Document object and need to convert it to URL encoded format so, for example this:
<share>
<code>GSK</code>
<price>13.34</price>
</share>
becomes something like...
&code=GSK&price=13.34& ...
I've been looking into doing this with XSLT but have run into difficulties. Do you think this is the best way of solving this problem, or is there another easier way?
Thanks.

I did something similar, basically takes a incoming XML file and output a HTML with certain link containing XML element value as query string. One of the things you have to be careful is, like Dr. Clap mentioned, to properly encode the value. I accompolished by using java extension in my XSL.
For example:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
          xmlns:encode="java.net.URLEncoder"
          extension-element-prefixes="encode"
          version="1.0">
     <xsl:template match="/">
          <xsl:variable name="myURL" select="concat('?blah=', encode:encode($myValueFromXML))" >
     </xls:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

URL Encoder not working in Netscape

Hi All,
I am using url encoding in my servlet for redirecting a request. The query string values has some spaces in them. The code I have used is shown below
String mname = "Jason Perry"
response.sendRedirect
("http://194.216.8.238:8081/merchant/merch.merchant?msgid=RP&mctid=1111242&totcp="+price.toString()+"&mname="+URLEncoder.encode(mname)+"&mtxnid=UY675432");
Please note that 194.216.8.238:8081 is an IP of another server located outside our network.
In Netscape the url is shown as http://194.216.8.238:8081/merchant/merch.merchant?msgid=RP&mctid=1111242&totcp=15
&mname=Jason Perry&mtxnid=UY675432
The space is not getting replaced with the plus.
But I have observed that if the redirection is to the same server on which the servlet is running, it works fine.
I am at loss as to why url encode is not working when routing the request to another server. I am using Netscape 4.77 .
This is works in IE fine.
Your inputs are appreciated.
Thanks
Malini

Yeah had this problem before, use the java.net.URLEncoder class:
<%@ page language="java" import="java.net.URLEncoder"%>
<%
String url = "http://194.216.8.238:8081/merchant/merch.merchant?msgid=RP&mctid=1111242&totcp=15
&mname=Jason Perry&mtxnid=UY675432"
String encodedUrl = URLEncoder.encode(url);
response.sendRedirect(encodedUrl);
%>

Problem in URL Encoding in J2ME

Hi,
I have a problem in URL Encoding in J2ME. As i read thru the J2ME APIs, i found that J2ME doesn't support it.
Or can i use the URL Encoding in J2SE to modify and put into J2ME?
Or someone out there have done such coding?
Reply me!
Thanks!...

like this:
public static String URLEncoder(String str) {
if (str == null) return null;
StringBuffer resultStr = new StringBuffer( str.length() );
char tmpChar;
for( int ix=0; ix<str.length(); ix++ ) {
tmpChar = str.charAt( ix );
switch( tmpChar ) {
case ' ' : resultStr.append( "%20" );
break;
case '-' : resultStr.append( "%2D" );
break;
case '/' : resultStr.append( "%2F" );
break;
case ':' : resultStr.append( "%3A" );
break;
case '=' : resultStr.append( "%3D" );
// System.out.println( "tmpChar = '=' " + "add %3D " );
break;
case '?' : resultStr.append( "%3F" );
// System.out.println( "tmpChar = '?' " + "add %3F " );
break;
case '#' : resultStr.append( "%23" );
break;
case '\r' : resultStr.append( "%0D" );
break;
case '\n' : resultStr.append( "%0A" );
break;
default : resultStr.append( tmpChar );
break;
return resultStr.toString();
}

URL encoding special characters in episode name

Hello,
Configuration :
1 capture agent on a MAC MINI under MAC OS X 10.6.5
1 PCP2 server on an XServe under MAC OS X 10.6.5
I encounter this problem since 10.6.5 update :
When I stop a Podcast capture, if episode name is for example abcd#, '#' character is "URL encoded" to '%23' sequence. So the final file name of the podcast is abcd%23.m4v instead of abcd#.m4v.
This was not the case under 10.6.4.
I tried this solution : renaming the file adding a task in the workflow ; this task launches a bash script which renames all files replacing '%23' sequences by a '#' character.
Files are well renamed, but the task don't give hand back, and XGrid task never ends.
Got this error in /var/log/system.log :
sandbox [nnn] : bash(12146) : deny file-ioctl /path/to/bash-script
Thanks for help

Problem solved !
I had a problem with rights on my podcasts directory.
So, for those who are interested, you can add a task to your workflow, for example a bash batch file which renames all files in your podcast directory whose name contains a special character :
for fic in `ls`
do
mv $fic `echo $fic | sed -e s/%23/#/g`
done
the additional workflow task must contain 2 items :
--- an item "command" of type String with the path of your batch file as value
--- an item "dependsOnTasks" of type array with an element of type string with "postflight" as value

URL Encoding and Decoding in OSB

Hi,
Do we have out-of-box solution in OSB to decode XML which is URL encoded and encode XML to URL encoding. If so how can I do it.
This might be basic question. I am unable to figure out. new to OSB.
Thanks

Hi Sham,
Probably these are what you looking for...

URL Encode and Decode

Hi Experts,
My Oracle Version:
BANNER

PL/SQL Release 11.1.0.7.0 - Production
CORE     11.1.0.7.0     Production

NLSRTL Version 11.1.0.7.0 - Production
5 rows selected.I got the requirement to check any URL encode and decode methods available in common for O racle and PHP,
Since URL will be encoded in database at the time of retreiving data from database but it will be decoded in PHP without db connection.
Hope my scenario will be clear to you, is any common function available in oracle and php for this process?

but escape, unescape just adds %20 for empty space in the URLwell it does a bit more: it escapes all special characters that should not be in a URL, e.g.
SQL> select utl_url.escape('#^|%µ ') escaped_url from dual
ESCAPED_URL
%23%5E%7C%25%B5%20
1 row selected.Can you give an example of how you want a completely converted url, and why?

UIImage to Base64 Encoded String does not matched with PHP Encoded String

Hi, I have converted an image to base64 string using the following
UIImage* pic = [UIImage imageNamed:@"closeBtn.png"];
    NSData* pictureData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(pic);
    [Base64 initialize];
    NSString * encodedString = [Base64 encode:pictureData];
The result obtained by this method and by converting the same image to base64 string in PHP or ASP is different. I am comparing the base64 string (testData) with online generated string from URL http://www.dailycoding.com/Utils/Converter/ImageToBase64.aspx
Please help ASAP

Keith:
I am converting the PNG Image.Actually i want to post a image to PHP server via JSON. for that i am converting the image into base64 string and then sending JSON via HTTP. but when server receives a image data , it cannot convert and save it properl (blank image with 0x0 dimensions). I have compared the Base64 String created from xCode with some online conversion tools. and results are different. I have even tried with JPG images as well.
How can I get the Same Encoded String as PHP or ASP code can have?

URL encoder for NSString?

My goal is to send NSString data in an xml format. Is there a way of encode non ascii chars to survive the xml transfer (like an url encoder but at string level)?

OK, my bad. I had the wrong encoding on the incoming reply not the response.
Issue solved.
NSString *reply = [[NSString alloc]initWithBytes:[myMutableData mutableBytes] length:[myMutableData length] encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
