What's the best way to handle a visitor constructing their own URL and replacing what we expect to be an ID with anything they like? For example: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/236349 But the user could just as easily replace the URL with: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/foo I've thought of making every Controller Function pa...
Is there any function that converts an escaped Url string to its unescaped form? System.Web.HttpUtility.UrlDecode() can do that job but I don't want to add a reference to System.Web.dll. Since my app is not a web application, I don't want to add a dependency for only using a function in an assembly. UPDATE: Check Rick Strahl's blog post...
Say I want to get the HTML of http://www.google.com as a String using some built-in classes of the Cocoa Touch framework. What is the least amount of code I need to write? I've gotten this far, but can't figure out how to progress. There must be an easier way. CFHTTPMessageRef req; NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.goog...

I have a long URL with tons of parameters that I want to open in the default browser from Java on a Windows system using Runtime.getRuntime().exec("rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler "+url) For short URLs like "http://www.google.com" this works fine. But for long URLs (say, 2000 characters), this simply does absolutely nothing at al...
Given a list of urls, I would like to check that each url: Returns a 200 OK status code Returns a response within X amount of time The end goal is a system that is capable of flagging urls as potentially broken so that an administrator can review them. The script will be written in PHP and will most likely run on a daily basis via c...
We are re-platforming for a client, and they are concerned about SEO. Their current site supports SEO friendly URLs, and so does the new platform. So for those, we are just going to create the same URL mapping. However, they have a large number of other URLs that are not SEO friendly that they want to permanently redirect. These do not f...
I am looking to parse a URL to obtain a collection of the querystring parameters in Java. To be clear, I need to parse a given URL(or string value of a URL object), not the URL from a servlet request. It looks as if the javax.servlet.http.HttpUtils.parseQueryString method would be the obvious choice, but it has been deprecated. Is the...

I can't seem to find a straight forward way to change the URL of a SharePoint portal. Does anyone know where this setting is? Thanks. ...
I previously asked how to do this in Groovy. However, now I'm rewriting my app in Perl because of all the CPAN libraries. If the page contained these links: <a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a> <a href="http://www.apple.com">Apple</a> The output would be: Google, http://www.google.com Apple, http://www.ap...

As such, I would like to use a hash function which takes in URL strings and outputs a unique string suitable as a filename. Is there a simple way to do this without re-writing the function myself? I searched around...

I checked this question, but it seems not to be applicable to MVC. Correct me if I'm wrong. --Edit (extended problem description)-- My call to my SearchController.Advan...

As such, to retrieve the content I cannot, for example, open a new database connection. However, I can't see a way to get at external context from the URLStreamHandler instance...
