Is it allowable to pass parameters to a web page through the URL (after the question mark) when using the POST method? I know that it works (most of the time, anyways) because my company's webapp does it often, but I don't know if it's actually supported in the standard or if I can rely on this behavior. I'm considering implementing a ...
Hi Guys, I'm still working with this huge list of URLs, all the help I have received has been great. At the moment I have the list looking like this (17000 URLs though): http://www.domain.com/page?CONTENT_ITEM_ID=1 http://www.domain.com/page?CONTENT_ITEM_ID=3 http://www.domain.com/page?CONTENT_ITEM_ID=2 http://www.domain.com/page?CONT...
Hi, I've found an issue with ASP.NET that I know at least has stumped one other person out there. We were trying to use an HttpModule to handle wildcard requests to a web application. The generated url is dynamic and could potentially be several hundred characters long. Unfortunately there appears to be a limitation in the aspnet...
I think the field type should be string of variable length (VARCHAR), but what length should I use? To clarify: I want to pick a size that would be able to store average URL, and don't really care about maximum possible. ...
The question title says it all. Now, I know a difference between parameters in a URL and a POST parameter: some browsers may misbehave if the URL is too long, so it is not a good idea to stuff hundreds of parameters in a URL, even if your app can respond to a GET request. For the sake of discussion, let's suppose the following web appl...
I've seen a lot of discussion on URL Routing, and LOTS of great suggestions... but in the real world, one thing I haven't seen discussed are: Creating Friendly URLs with Spaces and illegal characters Querying the DB Say you're building a Medical site, which has Articles with a Category and optional Subcategory. (1 to many). ( Could...
Take a very simple case as an example, say I have this URL: http://www.example.com/65167.html and I wish to serve that content under: http://www.example.com/about UPDATE: Note that the 'bad' URL is the canonical one (it's produced by a CMS which uses it internally for linking), so "/about" is just a way of polishing it. I have two...

Background: I have an HTML page which lets you expand certain content. As only small portions of the page need to be loaded for such an expansion, it's done via JavaScript, and not by directing to a new URL/ HTML page. However, as a bonus the user is able to permalink to such expanded sections, i.e. send someone else a URL like http://e...
Given a html document, what is the most correct and concise regular expression pattern to remove the query strings from each url in the document? ...
When does java let go of a connections to a URL? I don't see a close() method on either URL or URLConnection so does it free up the connection as soon as the request finishes? I'm mainly asking to see if I need to do any clean up in an exception handler. try { URL url = new URL("http://foo.bar"); URLConnection conn = url.openConnect...
I know in the MVC Framework, you have the Html Class to create URLs: Html.ActionLink("About us", "about", "home"); But what if you want to generate Urls in Webforms? I haven't found a really good resource on the details on generating URLs with Webforms. For example, if I'm generating routes like so: Route r = new Route("{country}/...
Hi!

If for example you follow the link: data:application/octet-stream;base64,SGVsbG8= The browser will prompt you to download a file consisting of the data held as base64 in the link itself. Is there any way of suggesting a default file-name for the browser to use? If not, is there a javascript solution? I'm referring to HTML hyperlinks...
I have an input String say "Please go to http://stackoverflow.com". The url part of the String is detected and an anchor <a href=""></a> is automatically added by many browser/IDE/applications. So it becomes "Please go to <a href='http://stackoverflow.com'>http://stackoverflow.com</a>". I need to do the same using Java. Thanks ...
Using Java, how can I test that a URL is contactable, and returns a valid response? http://stackoverflow.com/about ...
The equals()-method of the URL-class in the Java-class-library makes a DNS-request to get the IP for the hostname, to check the two IP's for equality. This happens even for URL's, that are created from the same String. Is there a way to avoid this internet-access? ...
So I'm using python to do some parsing of web pages and I want to split the full web address into two parts. Say I have the address http://www.stackoverflow.com/questions/ask. I would need the protocol and domain (e.g. http://www.stackoverflow.com) and the path (e.g. /questions/ask). I figured this might be solved by some regex, however ...
I have a load of user-submitted content. It is HTML, and may contain URLs. Some of them will be <a>'s already (if the user is good) but sometimes users are lazy and just type www.something.com or at best http://www.something.com. I can't find a decent regex to capture URLs but ignore ones that are immediately to the right of either a do...
Getting the subdomain from a URL sounds easy at first. http://www.domain.example Scan for the first period then return whatever came after the "http://" ... Then you remember http://super.duper.domain.example Oh. So then you think, okay, find the last period, go back a word and get everything before! Then you remember http://su...
