Imagine you had a group of product categories organized in a nice tree hierarchy and you wanted to provide hackable urls to browse these. You could do something like this /catalog/categorya/categoryb/categoryc You could then quite easily figure out which category you should list the products for (note that the full URL is needed since...
We have a custom REST handler on ASP.NET that is configured like this to handle all incoming requests: <add path="*" verb="*" type="REST.RESTProtocolHandler"/> However, passing it a pipe character, properly encoded or not at all, triggers a validation error that seems to come from inside ASP.NET. Accessing http://localhost:8080/%7c o...
I'm working on a new Wordpress site that is exhibiting some strange behavior. I pass it a URL with GET parameters in it, and the $_GET parameter is not populated.

How can you get and set the hash or anchor part of an URL in pure Actionscript? When googling for a solution I've found explainations for doing it using JavaScript, but is it possible to get it without using JavaScript? (I'm using Actionscript 2, I may consider updating the code to AS 3, but it doesn't seem to be a quite straight forward...

i’m trying to create a url string that works like this: /app/process/example.com/index.html so in other words, /app/process/$URL i then retrieve the url with $this->uri->segment(3); the forward slashes in the URL will of course be a problem accessing uri segments, so i’ll go ahead and url encode the URL portion: /app/process/e...

Given my new understanding of the power of "includes" with PHP, it is my guess that ALL of my pages on my site will be .php extension. Would this be considered strange? I used to think that most pages would be .htm or .html, but in looking around the net, I am noticing that there really isn't any "standard". I don't really think I hav...

Some of the results have a function rwt attached to the onmousedown event, but the sponsored links don't have any event handlers as far as I can make out. How does it achieve the behaviour of replacing the href, and still send you to the long /aclk?sa= link? Upon savi...
