URI escaping in XSLT

I have following xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<href>/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=╨▓╨╛╨┐╨░╨╛╨▒</href>
And I have following xsl file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html" encoding="koi8-r"/>
<xsl:template match="/href">
Click me
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Result of transformation is:
Click me
%E2%EE%EF%E0%EE%E1 - same string but in windows-1251 encoding. Although, I set koi8-r output encoding.
What's wrong?
I use XDK 9.2.0.1.0 on Windows NT 2000.

Add the non-ascii character to <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"></xsl:text>

Uri-escaping in XSLT-Processor when using html-method in xsl:output

I've a problem with the XSLT-Processor:
He tries to escape non-ASCII Characters in the href-Attribute when I use the output method "html". This is correct according to XSLT 1.0 and HTML4, but the processor doesn't really escape the characters, he just gives me a %3F ('?'-character) instead of %HH (where HH corresponds to the hex value of the char).
I searched the forums and found a thread with the same problem, but there was no solution to this issue. The thread was started in 2002 so maybe someone came up with a solution.

Add the non-ascii character to <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"></xsl:text>

Not escaping '&' in XSLT

I have a XSL stylesheet with the following code:
<xsl:param name="link"/>
<xsl:template match="mystuff">
         <a href="{$link}">
             <xsl:value-of select="anchor"/>
         </a>
</xsl:template>
(...)'link' is a parameter whose value is passed from the java code, and normally contains the '&' character (as in URL query parameters).
i.e.: http://www.myserver.net/servlet?p=a&m=b
The problem is that when doing the XSL transformation, the '&' is escaped into '& amp;'.
So instead of: <a href="http://www.myserver.net/servlet?p=a[b&[/bm=b">my link</a>
I'm getting: <a href="http://www.myserver.net/servlet?p=a& amp;m=b">my link</a>
That would be ok with most browsers (that I know) but the browser that I'm using doesn't have that support, so I really need to output the unescaped '&' in the link.
I've tried <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"> as well as setting the output to text, but neither worked (the former generated an exception during the transformation, and the latter didn't output the HTML tag).
Any ideas?

I understand DrClap's view on this. I've found that view on every thread out there, where someone asks for the same 'incorrect' behaviour.
Still, even though I understand the correctness of XSLT, there should always be a way of bending the rules for cases when it's justified.
The problem is that the browser is a J2ME app that's being developed here at work, and since they're trying to reduce its footprint I'm guessing making it handle the '& amp;' won't be a priority. The idea is that the server should make it easy on the client, so that we can have a really slim client.
ajeru's tips didn't work either, but I did format my <a> tag that way (separate the href attribute) because it looks neater. Thanks.
I ended up adding one line of Java code after the XSL transformation that just replaces all the '& amp' with '&'. It's an ugly hack, but it will keep things running, and that's what matters when deadlines approach ;)

Error with output escaping in xslt

(using c-xml parser v2 2.0.1.0.0 for Sun Solaris)
Hi all,
when using the following in a XSL file:
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">
<&;>&quote;'
</xsl:text>
the result in the output is:
<&>"'
My question: why are the lt and the amp not change into < and & correctly???
And by the way, rsults are the same when using disable-output-escaping="no".

Hi Harmen,
I also encounting the problem( I am using the C++ version), could you tell me if you have got the answer for it?
Many thanks in advance.

Output-escaping in XSLT

I write a xml file as following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="GB2312"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="xsl/order_edit.xsl" type="text/xsl"?>
<Order>
     <Sales>张三</Sales>
     <Value>张三</Value>
</Order>
and the order_edit.xsl is as follwing:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="GB2312"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.1"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html" indent="yes" encoding="GB2312"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
     <html>
          <body>
          <input type="text" name="test1">
          <xsl:attribute name="value">
               <xsl:value-of select="Order/Sales"
disable-output-escaping="yes">
               </xsl:value-of>
          </xsl:attribute>
          </input>
          <br></br>
          <xsl:value-of select="Order/Value" disable-
output-escaping="yes">
          </xsl:value-of>
          </body>
     </html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
when I run the xml file in OC4J,the source code in IE is as
following:
<html>
<body>
<input name="test1" type="text" value="&#24352;&#19977;">
<br>张三</body>
</html>
test1.value now is "&#24352;&#19977;",but I hope it be
"张三" to be displayed correctly.("张三"
is two chinese characters).
What can I do?

should i just delete those .pm files and try again? :?:

i just moved URI to URI.sus (my standard thing for "suspend"), and URI.pm to URI.pm.sus, and it installed and seems to work. good to know i can just delete the old ones. i was not sure what package or perl program they might be associated with. thx

After transfer to new server, doesn't work

Hello iTunes U Administrators,
A short description about my iTunes U experience - none. I am a new hire at my academic institution, and it so happens that the folks with the most experience with setting up iTunes U have just left for vacation.
We just migrated our site to a new server, and iTunes U doesn't open any more. We are using the Perl script version. I have verified that Perl scripts are still able to run on the new server. The "https://deimos.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/Browse/**.**" URL still works when I enter it into a browser.
We are using the version of Perl script that requires the following modules:
URI::Escape
Digest::SHA
Net::HTTP
I am checking with IT to verify that these modules are installed . We are using Perl 5.8.8 on Linux.
The main mode of failure seems to be that "aURL" is not being defined. Here is a snippet from our web page source:
{start of php section}
importrequestvariables("gp");
if($launch == "open")
passthru("valid-file-path/cgi-bin/itunespublic.pl");
echo "<script type='text/javascript'>openApple(aURL); </script>";
{end of php section}
In the perl script, the sub invokeAction() does not seem to assign a value to aURL, even as it generates JavaScript tags and "aURL =".
Any ideas?
- Larry

N9, multiple caldav sync entries with same user na...

Hi, With N9, is it possible to create multiple CalDAV accounts with the same user name? I am asking this because with Google calendar I have shared calendars with family members, and it is possible to sync to these calendars using my own Google account and with a specific server path. I would just need to have several CalDAV entries in order to sync to each of them? (I am currently using CalDAV to sync to my wife's calendar and Mail for Exchange for my own gmail account but I don't quite like this.) On my previous phone I used GooSync which handled all this, but I don't yet know is it possible to use that with N9. Eero
Solved!
Go to Solution.

posting this here as this is just about the top Google search hit:
Check the URLs suggested here:
http://forum.meego.com/showthread.php?t=3729
Quote:
The URL for your main calendar should be: https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/ The URLs for additional calendars should be: https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]endar.google.com/ In both cases the trailing slashes are important. The '@' must not be URI escaped (i.e. '%40'). The long UUID can be found on the individual calendar settings panels, and on the Google page above.

Help: Running iTunes U perl script: Can't locate Digest/SHA.pm

We are using IIS 6.0 on Windows Server 2003.
We have installed v5.008008 of Active Perl.
We changed the sample iTunesU.pl script with our school data
When we run the script from the command prompt we get the following error:
Can't locate Digest/SHA.pm in @INC (@INC contains: E:/Perl/site/lib E:/Perl/lib
.) at E:\Webapps\ajula\CGI\ITunesU.pl line 87.

How can fix this problem
Thanks

I followed the instructions in the sample files.
On the server I ran perl -MCPAN -e shell
It showed errors and problem for when installing Digest::SHA and Crypt::SSLeay
Here is a copy of the restults.
Can you help me figuring out what is wrong?
Thanks

the only thing i replaced in this script is the shared secret, debug suffix, display name, email address and username with appropriate ones.
use strict;
use Digest::SHA qw(hmacsha256hex);
use URI::Escape;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use Encode qw(encode);

# credentials you want to grant to that user, and the optional
# identity information with the identity of the current user.
# For initial testing and site setup, use the singe administrator
# credential defined when your iTunes U site was created. Once
# you have access to your iTunes U site, you will be able to define
# additional credentials and the iTunes U access they provide.

$token_hash{'credentials'} = $escapedUTF8EncodedCredentials;
$token_hash{'identity'} = $escapedUTF8EncodedIdentity;

# append the signature to the POST content
return %token_hash
sub invokeAction()
# Send a request to iTunes U and record the response.
# Net:HTTPS is used to get better control of the encoding of the POST data

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
my $response = $ua->post($siteURL, \%token);

AND HERE IS THE OUTPUT
Received
Destination kean.edu
Identity %22Michael Searson%22 %3Cmsearson%40kean.edu%3E %28msearson%29 %5B42%5D
Credentials Administrator%40urn%3Amace%3Aitunesu.com%3Asites%3Akean.edu
Time 1178819683
Signature 4d012f2cb6e465dbc4ae41b4905ad3c334c695e36b06e9ae406acf02f25387d1
Analysis
The destination string is valid and the corresponding destination item was found.
The identity string is invalid: Illegal character '%' at position 1.
The credential string is valid but contains no known credentials.
The credential string contains the following credential which is not used within iTunes U:
Administrator%40urn%3Amace%3Aitunesu.com%3Asites%3Akean.edu
The time string is valid and corresponds to 2007-05-10 17:54:43Z.
The signature string is valid.
Access
Because the received signature and time were valid, the received identity and credentials were accepted by iTunes U.
In addition, the following 2 credentials were automatically added by iTunes U:
All@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:kean.edu
Authenticated@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:kean.edu
With these credentials, you have browsing, downloading, uploading, and editing access to the requested destination.

Hacking urxvt scripts -- Perl help needed [FINISHED]

Before I start, I have no knowledge of Perl, and I'm finding it a fairly challenging language to read.
I have one last thing that I want for urxvt to make it just right. I'd like to be able to select some text from the terminal, and launch a search in a browser using only the mouse. I started with the first example in the urxvtperl man pages:
sub on_sel_grab {
warn "you selected ", $_[0]->selection;
I saved it to a file called 'grab' in my $HOME directory, and involked it with:
urxvt --perl-lib $HOME -pe grab
It works as it should; It echos whatever I highlight in the new terminal on the old terminal.
The next step was to make a basic launcher. I thought something like this would work:
sub on_sel_grab {
system("firefox http://www.google.com/search?q=", $_[0]->selection);
It doesn't, and other variations like '< $_[0]->selection' dont' work either. Static launchers do:
sub on_sel_grab {
system("firefox http://www.google.com/search?q=test");
For my first question, how do I get the value of $_[0]->selection appended to the search URL?

Ok, first, add this line to the top of your script somewhere:
use URI::Escape;
It seems to be a standard module (I have it on my system by default). This will enable you to escape characters for URIs (yeah, I know the name is obvious).
Then update your sub as follows:
sub on_sel_grab {
# Load the selection into a variable, URI-escaping it first, so that the next command becomes clearer.
# "my" is just for the variable declaration so that you don't encounter any problems if you're using "strict"
my $selection = uri_escape($_[0]->selection);
# Add single quotes around the URI to avoid potential shell problems.
# The curly braces around the variable are just to be sure that it's read correctly.
# I don't think it's necessary here, but it's good practice when you're your variables aren't space-padded.
system("firefox 'http://www.google.com/search?q=${selection}');
# Is this necessary? Why is there here? I think you can remove this.
If you can't use "URI::Escape", you'll have to add several substitution lines (e.g. $selection =~ s/ /%20/g).
edit
I need to stop submitting replies that I've had open for 10 minutes.
edit 2
Try
pacman -S perl-libwww
I suspect that's the package providing the URI::Escape module.

URL Access Scripting & accented characters

I'm trying to write a small iTunes script that checks whether track titles of an album match those in the MusicBrainz database. But I'm running into a small problem when I try to retrieve the album information when it's title has accented characters.
Here's a snippet of code:
property baseURL : "http://musicbrainz.org/ws/1/release/"
property tempFile : "Data:temp:tempAlbumInfo.xml"
property albumTitle : "með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust"
set queryURL to "?type=xml&releasetypes=Official&limit=10&title=" & albumTitle
set the clipboard to (baseURL & queryURL)
-- Fetch the releases info from musicbrainz
tell application "URL Access Scripting"
download (baseURL & queryURL) to tempFile replacing yes
end tell
This gives me a 503 error from URL Access Scripting, but when I paste the variable just copied to the clipboard into Firefox, the page loads perfectly. Pasting it into Safari, it doesn't work.
I'm guessing it has something to do with either the way URL Access Scripting and Safari rawurlencode their URLs, or some Unicode / Latin-1 problems.
Oh, and for album titles without accented characters it all works perfectly. Any idea why this is happening? Thanks!

Hello
I think you need to escape URI string properly.
Try replacing the line:
set queryURL to "?type=xml&releasetypes=Official&limit=10&title=" & albumTitle
with these two lines:
set escapedTitle to do shell script "echo " & quoted form of albumTitle & " | perl -Mutf8 -MURI::Escape -lne 'print uri_escape($_);'"
set queryURL to "?type=xml&releasetypes=Official&limit=10&title=" & escapedTitle
Hope this may help,
H

Apache rewrite rule working with whitespaces in portal URL

Hello,
we have a portal with several page groups. These are accessed through different virtual hosts in Apache. The rewrite rules look like:
RewriteRule ^/website1(.*)$ /portal/page/portal/website1/$1 [PT]
The problem is, it does not work when there is more than one space in URL (fe.: website1/subpage 1/subpage 2). The result is http error 413.
I guess, it is related to PT flag and escaping URI.
RewriteRule flag B would probably do the trick, but it is available in Apache 2.2 only.
We have tried following, as well:
RewriteMap escapemap int:escape
RewriteRule ^/website1(.*)$ /portal/page/portal/website1/${escapemap:$1} [PT]
That works for any number of spaces! On the other hand side, it does not work for Czech (accented; URI escaped) characters any more. :-(
Does anyone have a working rewrite rule? Any hints?
Thank you!

I dont think it is using this file though. I tried renaming it, and still uses soffice. I logged onto another account, it asked me what to use to open a file, i chose evince, and now it uses evince for everything.
EDIT: I don't think it is even using XDG-Open. I removed it from /usr/bin, and still the same thing.

Support for "escape-uri-attributes" in xsl:output ???

Does XSLT processor supports
new attribute "escape-uri-attributes" for
xsl:output element?

This was tested on 9.2.0.1 Beta (D) XDK for Java
For an example _encXSQL.xsql?param=PŠPHFŽŠĐŽČĆ
returns some garbage in href link, but the valu of the
param is correct shown as text in html.
Here are the code for XSQL page (_encXSQL.xsql)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1250"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="_encXSL.xsl" ?>
<page
param = ""
xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql">
<xsql:include-param name="param"/>
</page>
And the code for XSL (_encXSL.xsl)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1250"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl=" "
target="_new">http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html" ident="no" encoding="windows-1250"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<a href="_encTestXSQL.xsql?param={page/param}">
Param:
<xsl:value-of select="page/param"/>
</a>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
