Re: Url Redirection

Hi Steven,

Indeed, it's part of an unmanaged addin for another application and
invoking via the shell is the most efficient way of achieving the desired
result as the browser will need to be opened if it isn't already.

I don't seem to have any control over this as it's all handled
internally and controlled via the web.config file afaik. So here is my
current thoughts...

1. The URL is created and escaped correctly.
2. The URL works on the site if logged in already
3. If not logged in ASP.NET screws with the URL and makes it invalid
then kicks you back to the login page.

So using my advanced powers of deduction. asp.net is screwing with my
query string and making it unusable? Therefore I can't see how this can be
worked around unless I can modify the query string during this process but
unfortunately none of my code is hit in page load for me to be able to. Or
am I able to perform the bounce manually somehow?

Thanks for your time again!

Nick.

Thanks for the reply Nick,

I haven't expected that the client code is for unmanaged cpp. Have you
tried some .NET based webrequest or webbrowser control based code to see
whether it can repro the same behavior?

Hi Steven,

Sure no probs, the code that I'm using to create the URL is,

----

HRESULT hr;
TCHAR* pChrFileName = pStrFileName.GetBuffer();
DWORD pDWdSize = INTERNET_MAX_URL_LENGTH;
TCHAR* pChrEncoded = (TCHAR*)calloc(pDWdSize, sizeof(TCHAR));
ZeroMemory(pChrEncoded, pDWdSize);
UrlEscape(pChrFileName, pChrEncoded, &pDWdSize, NULL);
pStrFileName.ReleaseBuffer(0);
CString pStrEncoded = pChrEncoded;
free(pChrEncoded);

CString pStrURL = _T("http://www.myurl.com/default.aspx?inputfile=";);
pStrURL += pStrEncoded;
CString pStrParams = _T("url.dll,FileProtocolHandler ");
pStrParams += pStrURL;

----

pStrParams is then fired off to ShellExecuteEx which correctly opens
the
URL in the default web browser.

Nick.

Thanks for the followup Nick,

Would you post some of your page's code such as how to concatenate the
querystring (just the code snippet that is sufficient to repro the
behavior)? I'd like to have a test on my side.

Hi Steven,

I wouldn't say that a 256 character max path is too long for an URL
surely?

It needs to be invoked this way unfortunately as it's being called
via
an add-in for another application.

I got the name of the method I am using incorrectly, it is
UrlEncode,

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb773774(VS.85).aspx

Basically what is happening is the query is being re-escaped when
the
server bounces it so it's escaping the escape characters.

Surely if the URL is working before being bounced, then it is not
badly
formed?

Nick.
