friendly-url

I'm working on a quick captcha generator for a simple site I'm putting together, and I'm hoping to pass an encrypted key in the url of the page. I could probably do this as a query string parameter easy enough, but I'm hoping not too (just because nothing else runs off the query string)... My encryption code produces a byte[], which is then transformed using Convert.ToBase64String(byte[]) into a string. This string, however, is still not quite url friendly, as it can contain things like '/' and '='. Does anyone know of a better function in the .NET framework to convert a byte array to a url

I know how to make URL's rewrite, for example: www.example.com/index.php?id=1&cat=3 to www.example.com/1/3/ (or whatever). I know that. What I don't know is how on earth to change my whole links in all pages to link to pretty URL's. All my site's links are old fashion ( <a href="index.php?id=1&cat=2"> ) and there are many. I`m asking if someone has an idea or know how to automaticaly redirect to that pretty url if the user click on index.php?id=1. (Almost like this site Stackoverflow if you change title in the url). So my presumtions are... Use .htaccess to read the index.php?id=1&cat=2 to

How can I go about generating a Friendly URL in C#? Currently I simple replace spaces with an underscore, but how would I go about generating URL's like Stack Overflow? For example how can I convert: How do I generate a Friendly URL in C#? Into how-do-i-generate-a-friendly-url-in-C Konrad Rudolph There are several things that could be improved in Jeff's solution, though. if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(title)) return ""; IMHO, not the place to test this. If the function gets passed an empty string, something went seriously wrong anyway. Throw an error or don't react at all. // remove any leading or

I'd like all queries like http://mysite.com/something/otherthing?foo=bar&x=y to be rewritten as http://mysite.com/something/otherthing.php?foo=bar&x=y In other words, just make the .php extension optional, universally. I would do it this way. Basically, if file doesn't exist, try adding .php to it. RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1.php [QSA,L] If you can change the httpd.conf and what to, you can also put: ForceType application/x-httpd-php in the file as it will force all the paths called to be PHP files. I think this also works with

I have Login.xhtml and Home.xhtml . I configured the url pattern in web.xml as follows <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/faces/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>Login.xhtml</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list> When I run the whole project, the login page URL is like this http://localhost:8080/fran/Login.xhtml , here fran is my project name.. However, I would like it to be http://localhost:8080/fran/Login/ instead of http://localhost:8080/fran/Login.xhtml . How can I achieve this? Is it possible to customize the <url

I've read a great deal of discussion recently (both on this site and elsewhere) about "friendly URLs" but I'm not sure what exactly makes a URL "friendly" and why we really even care (up to a certain point). Illustration: The following is an example of a URL that would be held up by the majority of current web developers as "friendly": www.myblog.com/posts/123/this-is-the-name-of-my-blog-post Whereas this would be considered "unfriendly" (i.e. bad, Neanderthal, ignorant, stupid): www.myblog.com/posts.aspx?id=123 My questions: Doesn't the "friendly" URL contain duplicate identifying information
