Request.Querystring?

3 Mar 2005 9:56 PM

John .

I have a URL in which I am trying to grab its querystring. Its format
looks like this:

http://www.domain.com/page.asp?theURL=http://www.otherdomain.com/otherpa
ge.asp?topic=45&subject=180

My code snippet below:

sURL = Request.QueryString("theUrl")
Response.Write sURL

Gives me this:
http://www.otherdomain.com/otherpage.asp?topic=45

How can I get the whole link (including the &subject=180)?

those are technically seperate QS values. You need to format the value
BEFORE you put it in there, with an encode, or else you need to tell the
Request to get the entire QS, dont specify the value, but this wont work if
you need multiple values.

If you want it all, just access the whole querystring:
Response.write Request.QueryString
I like your example *** a querystring with a URL with a querystring ;-)
that's almost recursive

You can't easily. The rest isn't part of "theURL" since it's part of
"subject" in your querystring. The ampersand (&) is a demarcation for
the querystring argument.

http://www.domain.com/page.asp?
theURL=http://www.otherdomain.com/otherpage.asp?topic=45^subject=180

URL = replace(request.QueryString("theUrl"),"^","&")
Response.Write sURL

The original link must URL encode the "&" before "subject". As far a the
server can tell the link has 2 parameters, "theURL" and "subject".
