url-encoding

If the data is Url Encoded, is it secure enough to send login credentials over HTTP GET? Not at all. URL encoded is easily reversible. You should encrypt the transport layer (i.e. use HTTPS) No - URL encoding is meant to make sure all the characters you try to send with a GET request can actually arrive at the other end. It is actually designed to be easily encoded and decoded to prepare data for transport, not for security. URL encoding is not any kind of encryption, it just prepares the string to be sent through the network. If your data is sensitive, GET should be completely out of question

I'm currently creating a set of links with code like this: BookmarkablePageLink<CheeseMain> havarti = new BookmarkablePageLink<CheeseMain>("havarti", CheeseMain.class); havarti.setParameter("Title", "Havarti"); havarti.setParameter("Group", "cheeseName"); add(havarti); The URL that comes out has the format https://mysite.com/;jsessionid=B85EE5CB0349CCA2FE37AF76AB5C30C1?wicket:bookmarkablePage=:com.mycompany.cheese.CheeseMain&Title=Havarti&group=cheeseName . My problem is that I no longer want the URL for this link to be bookmarkable. Ideally, I would like it to be something simple like https:/

I'm trying to send encrypted data over the url to another site (using file_get_contents("anotherUrl.php?hash=$encryptedString") . The problem is, sometimes, the encryption contains some special characters, like +, and this causes the decryption to fail. Here are my encryption / decryption methods: public function encrypt($string, $key) { return base64_encode(mcrypt_encrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, md5($key), $string, MCRYPT_MODE_CBC, md5(md5($key)))); } public function decrypt($encrypted, $key) { return rtrim(mcrypt_decrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, md5($key), base64_decode($encrypted), MCRYPT_MODE_CBC

I'm trying to get python to give me percent encoded strings. The API I'm interacting with (which I think is using percent encoded UTF-8), gives %c3%ae for î. However, python's urllib.quote gives %3F. import urllib mystring = "î" print urllib.quote(mystring) print urllib.quote_plus(mystring) print urllib.quote(mystring.encode('utf-8')) Any help appreciated. Your file has to encode your string as utf-8 before quoting it, and the string should be unicode. Also you have to specify the appropriate file encoding for your source file in the coding section: # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- import urllib s = u

Is there a kind of URLEncode in Groovy? I can't find any String → String URL encoding utility. Example: dehydrogenase (NADP+) → dehydrogenase%20(NADP%2b) ( + instead of %20 would also be acceptable, as some implementations do that) aiolos You could use java.net.URLEncoder . In your example above, the brackets must be encoded too: def toEncode = "dehydrogenase (NADP+)" assert java.net.URLEncoder.encode(toEncode, "UTF-8") == "dehydrogenase+%28NADP%2B%29" You could also add a method to string's metaclass: String.metaClass.encodeURL = { java.net.URLEncoder.encode(delegate, "UTF-8") } And simple
