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];

Encoding for blank spaces in url in a sql statement in report

1. What function or process do I use to encode for blank spaces in a url link in a report?
I need to link from a report to a 2nd report and pass 5 variables. I believe that I need to do that by embedding my own url in the sql for the report, since the standard report sets up for only 3 variables to be passed.
One of my variables PARTNER_FIRM has spaces in it, so how do I encode for that in the query. Currently, I have the following (... simplified).
select partner_firm,
count(distinct event) distinct_events,
'<a href="f?p=18509:4:&SESSION.::NO:4:P4_PARTNER_FIRM,P4_QUARTER,P4_CATEGORY,P4_PRODUCT_CATEGORY,P4_EVENT:' ||
partner_firm ||
'%2C&P3_QUARTER.%2C&P3_CATEGORY.%2C&P3_PRODUCT_CATEGORY.%2C&P3_EVENT.">' ||
count(distinct lower(attendee_email)) || '</a>' distinct_attendees
from all_events ...
but partner_firm has spaces which are returned. I think there is some way that I can encode for that?
Thanks,
Stephen

Sure there is:
select apex_util.url_encode('http://ww.oracle.com/') from dual

How is URL encoding done by Agentry for HTML Fields ?

Hello All!
I have an HTML Field that has a few url parameters defined and one of the values for a parameter contains a pipe delimiter i.e. " | ".
When agentry constructs the final url for iPad platforms, the HTML field is not rendered at all and a page error shows up.
If I manually encode | to %7C as per URL encoding rules Agentry in turn encodes the escape character '%' to %25 by itself!
How can I turn off encoding in value attribute of a html field ?
Any help is appreciated
Cheers
Shaunak

Hey Kevin,
Nope. This would be a limitation in how Agentry handles urls.
No workaround possible here so we had to make do with limited functionality.

Newbie ERROR- URL Encoded SQL Length exceeds allowed 32K limit

My SQL Query worked fine yesterday.( I'm still in developing mode)
I made a copy of it and put it into a text file.( Just to be sure I had it.)
Today When I tried to run it in APEX , I get error
URL Encoded SQL Length exceeds 32K limit.
Is there any way to tell how the size of my query ( for example 33K)
is using?
TIA

I had to put out some other fires for the last few days.
I'm trying to use it in SQL worksheet.
That is my entire error message. It does NOT have an Error #.

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 Encoding and UTF8

Hello Friends,
I have been working on this problem for some time now. I have a web page that has forms fields like first name, last name etc. and then posts the data back to a servlet that writes it into a file that is utf-8 encoded. The web page has charset specified as utf-8. I was assuming that data would be sent back in the url as utf-8. I entered some japanese data copied from a japanese web page. When I looked at the file into which the form data was written I saw that it wasn't even close to utf-8 or unicode encoding of the data I had posted. For eg. I entered a japanese character: '\u4F1A' which is utf-8 encoded as 'E4 BC 9A'. But the data written into the file is '25 45 34 25 42 43 25 39 41'. This is of course because the data is url encoded which is '%E4%BC%9A', since 45 is hex for E, 34 is hex for 4 and so on. Now the question is how is it that I proceed to get the right utf data back. I am using a jrun server. Is there something that I need to set here in order to get the right characters back.

The UTF-8 encoded sequence of bytes of the character '\u4F1A' is {-E4, -BC, -9A}, and the character '-' is (char)0x2d instead of (char)0x25. And I suppose 25 should be 2d.

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);
%>

Apache plugin url encoding

the following is on HP Apache-based Web Server/1.3.26
with the mod_wl.so from 6.1 sp3 proxying to a 6.1 sp3 backend and I tried setting
up QueryFromRequest ON to no avail.
I am having the following problem with the BEA proxy plugin for Apache. I have
a very simply scenario to demonstrate it. Lets say that you have the following
directory/file structure:
/applications
     /DefaultWebApp
          spaceLink.htm
          /space demo
               resource.htm
NOTE: There is a "space" in the "space demo" directory name.
Now, spaceLink.htm has a link to the file resource.htm in the "space demo" directory.
Here is the html:
<html> <body> click here </body> </html>
Now assume that apache is sitting in front of this BEA box and proxying requests
to the BEA box.
If the Apache-BEA proxy plugin is proxying the request to BEA, then the request
is made correctly from the browser to the proxy as:
GET /space%20demo/resource.htm HTTP/1.1
Notic the browser is correctly URL encoding the request.
BUT, the apache-BEA proxy plugin is incorrectly proxying the request to the BEA
box:
GET /space demo/resource.htm
Notice the Apache-BEA proxy is not URL encoding the request, so when BEA gets
it he thinks this is a request for "/space" and "demo/resource.htm" is the http
version.
This problem DOES NOT happen if I use the generic http proxy module provided with
Apache.
Has anyone seen this problem before?
Please get back to me if you have some information.

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();

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.

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

XSL and url encoded data issue

I have a large XML document, which has the data in it URLEncoded to escape the nasty chars.
When I run it through the xalan XSL parser and feed the output to the browser in my servlet, the resultant html has the URLEncoded chars in it. For instance the '/' is still showing up at %2F etc... However, if I can't URLDecode the whole xml document. Is there a simple way for decode the URL chars, without doing too much trickery?
Thanks!
Modoc

You can URL-encode XML data if you like, whatever you mean by "nasty chars" I don't know. The result is perfectly legitimate XML and XSLT will translate it perfectly well. But it won't decode it, that is none of its business. I suppose it would be possible to write an XSLT function to do URL-decoding, but my preference would be to do that some other way. Or not to URL-encode in the first place.

Query regarding URL Encoding......in struts

Hi Friends,
I am working in Struts.
Now in some cases i have to send some data (like some id or falg value ) in URL as queryURL.
now when the page calls at that time on the address bar i saw the whole URL.
I wanted to encode that URL.so that no one can undestand the actual parameter values and name.
So can any one help me about this.
Thank You,
Ajay Patel

You could simply POST the data as opposed to using GET. Though it doesn't encode/ encrypt the data, but simply adds the parameters into the body of the request. If someone were to look at your requests, they'd be able to see this data.
As for actually hiding it through encryption, you could get JavaScript libraries to do this on form submit but I doubt you'd need that much security. You could also try base64 encoding for a simpler approach.

URL encoding in web.show_document

Hi.
I have to pass some parameteres with spaces and such in them. Is there any available pl/sql functions to url encode/decode ?

Thanks.
I had some trouble though, as the compiler didn't recognize it. It turned out that this package did not exist in the v8 db we're using for development, but the recent 9i production db had it.
We decided to put the parameter in question into the db, and extract it from the report instead of passing it on the url...
