I am trying to build a homebrew web brower to get more proficient at Cocoa. I need a good way to validate whether the user has entered a valid URL.

I typically use URL rewriting to pass content IDs to my website, so this Foo.1.aspx rewrites to Foo.aspx?id=1 For a specific application I need to pass in multiple IDs to a single page, so I've rewritten things to accept this: Foo.1,2,3,4,5.aspx This works fine in Cassini (the built-in ad hoc web server for Visual Studio) but...
What's the best way to implement a URL interpreter / dispatcher, such as found in Django and RoR, in PHP? It should be able to interpret a query string as follows: /users/show/4 maps to area = Users action = show Id = 4 /contents/list/20/10 maps to area = Contents action = list Start = 20 Count = 10 /toggle/projects/10/active map...

I am trying to detect which web in sharepoint that the user is looking at right now. One approach could be to read the URls from the browser and try to compare them to a reference URL to the sharepoint solution. I have not yet been able to locate any solution that works in both IE and Firefox. The idea is to write a small C# app that wi...
Is it possible to have the StripesDispatcher be the sole determiner of webserver urls by looking at the @UrlBinding annotations on action beans AND also having those action beans forward to pre-compiled JSPs / servlets WITHOUT needing to define and maintain <servlet> <servlet-mapping> pairs in web.xml? Basically, I just want to have to o...
How should I format URLs with special/international characters?

Which is better (for the user, for longevity, for performance, for whatever) to have: http://{site}/{login} e.g. http://wildobs.com/adam_jack or http://{site}/user/{login} Pros of former: User feels more special. URLs are shorter. Cons of former: Cannot have users w/ logins matching keywords, and keywords likely grow over time....
Hi, I'm working on a legacy app and for whatever reason it's trying to stuff URL-encoded angle brackets into a URL. For example, to get a URL ending with "<sometext>": http://somesite.com/somefolder/%3csometext%3e When the above URL-encoded URL is fetched, it generates a 400 error (Bad Request) on IIS6 and I can't quite figure out why...

I'm trying to get this piece of code working a little better. I suspect it's the loop reading one byte at a time. I couldn't find another way of doing this with gzip decompression. Implementing a StreamReader is fine, but it returns a string which I can't pass to the decompression stream. Is there a better way? byte[] bufffer = null; L...
I have the following regex that does a great job matching urls: ((https?|ftp|gopher|telnet|file|notes|ms-help):((//)|(\\\\))+[\w\d:#@%/;$()~_?\+-=\\\.&]*)` However, it does not handle urls without a prefix, ie. stackoverflow.com or www.google.com do not match. Anyone know how I can modify this regex to not care if there is a prefix ...
