I have REST services which should receive really long queries via GET. Say for example I want to query a service with many geographical coordinates to find out something about all this coordinates. 1) My first thought was to use long URIs and increase the max URI length of the servlet container. It would look like this: GET http://so...
If I have a URL like: http://www.example.com:9090/test.html Then I know that www.example.com is the host name, but what do you call http://www.example.com:9090? Is there some kind of established name for that? ...
I'm using asp.net/C# and I'm looking to create unique(?) uris for a small CMS system I am creating. I am generating the uri segment from my articles title, so for example if the title is "My amazing article" the uri would be www.website.com/news/my-amazing-article There are two parts to this. Firstly, which characters do you think I n...
I am confused by Apple's documentation about the NSURL class. In NSURL, they say the following: NSURL understands URLs in style of RFC 1808, 1738 und 2732 NSURL understands URIs in style of RFC 2396 Also they say that the RFC 2396 URI are paths. Now what's the difference here? Isn't a path also an URL? I mean, it's an location or n...
Is there any? (talking about URI = identifying, and URL = locating). Isn'g both the same thing? ...
I somewhat understand that URNs are used to provide unique and location independent name for the resource. Yet I fail to see their usefulness and how exactly they work: a) In order for URN to really be unique, there would have to be some central authority (similar to authority for domain names) where we could register URNs and that way ...
Hi 1) FPIs can be used to identify DTD files. Since as far as I can tell, FPIs are somewhat similar to URNs in that they uniquely identify the resource ( DTD file ), then why don’t we use URNs instead of FPIs to locate DTDs? In other words, what makes FPIs more efficient in identifying DTD files? 2) I also don’t understand the usefuln...
Hi, The following line of code gives an exception. Is this a bug in the framework? If not what approach could I take instead? It seems to be the ":" (colon) that causes in the issue, however I do see such a URI working on production websites ok (i.e. seems to be a valid URI in the real world) Uri relativeUri = new Uri("http://test.c...
Hi, How do I convert a PageURI & Href to an absolute URL/URI in C#? i.e. I am scanning a web page at a given PageURI and in the HTML have link/node with a HREF, and want to translate this HREF into a valid absolute URI. Background - note the trouble I was having here ...
Hi there, I am trying to extract just the domain name from a URL string. I almost have it...

I have javascript updating my URI as below: /index.php?page=list#page=news But I would like to make page=news accessible somehow from my server so that when the URI is copied and pasted, it would go to the news page. What is the best way to do this ? I tried $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] but everything stored in $_SERVER is before the hash...
The base HTML element provides a base for relative URIs in the HTML. Must JavaScript and CSS also honor it for relative URIs issued in them e.g. JavaScript location.href = "mypage.htm" or CSS h4{ background-image: url(myimage.gif) }? Any browser. ...
The RFC 3986 URI: Generic Syntax spec lists a semicolon as a reserved (sub-delim) character: reserved = gen-delims / sub-delims gen-delims = ":" / "/" / "?" / "#" / "[" / "]" / "@" sub-delims = "!" / "$" / "&" / "'" / "(" / ")" / "*" / "+" / "," / ";" / "=" What is the reserved purpose of the ";" of the semicolon ...

From there, i am able to retrieve the Request object via $this->getRequest(). i am also able to retrieve various information regarding the URI from the Request object. But, how can i ret...
I've tried to figure out whether the format of an e-mail address can be said to comply with the definition of a URI or not, but I've found no explicit confirmation of this so far. I hope someone can provide me with some insight here. Thanks in advance :) ...
I am using jsps and in my url I have a value for a variable like say "L & T". Now when I try to retrieve the value for it by using request.getParameter I get only "L". It recognizes "&" as a separator and thus it is not getting considered as a whole string. How do I solve this problem? ...
Hi, I'm reading REST and nearly ready to try it but I can't get comfortable with a coupel of things. The first is to do with defining the URI's. The scenario is an existing site with products for sale. You can view data in a number of views, driling down a hierarchy, but basically cat1/cat/ products, or cat 2/cat3/products or anycombin...
Greetings everyone Using the request object, I can't get a sole value as in this URI: http://mydomain.com/controller/action/value1 Using $request->getParams() is not returning the value1. Output: array([controller] => 'controller', [action] => 'action') The key is missing. The issue itself is quite simple and I could parse the U...
I would like to check if the URI will need SSL authentication: url = URI.parse("http://www.google.com") # [some code] if url.instance_of?
