_EncodeUrl()

[w0uter]

Works on IE.

But does not work on firefox due to security reasons.

firefox sends you to the root.

ex: www.google.nl/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:nl-NL:official

would just go to: www.google.nl

Function:

Func _EncodeUrl($s_Url, $s_PreFix = 'http://')
    Local $s_NUrl = ''
    $s_Url = StringSplit($s_Url, '')
    
    For $i = 1 To $s_Url[0]
        If $s_Url[$i] = '/' OR $s_Url[$i] = '?' OR $s_Url[$i] = '=' Then 
            $s_NUrl &= $s_Url[$i]
            ContinueLoop
        EndIf
        $s_NUrl &= '%' & Hex(Asc($s_Url[$i]), 2)
    Next
    
    $s_NUrl = $s_PreFix & $s_NUrl
    
    Return $s_NUrl
    
EndFunc

example:

$Coded = _EnCodeUrl('www.google.nl/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:nl-NL:official')
ConsoleWrite($Coded & @CR)
Run('C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe ' & $Coded)

plz bash me for making a nub script. (or just give improvements)

since it looks even more noob if noone posts....

It's not so bad... In fact, even though it didn't work for me how it seems to have worked for you, it's still a valuable reference on how to convert to Hexadecimal values.

Incase you're curious about the results I got, here's the breakdown:

• Copied Func and Example directly from Topic into new AU3 Script; clean-up after Copy converted space-indents to tab-indents.
• Commented out Run(), because I was only interested in the results, not the automatic launching of any program.
• Commented out final assignment of $s_NUrl, because it's unnecessary the same result can be acheived by moving the right side of the assignment to the Return line, then enclosing the assignment inside brackets so that it's evaluated before the Return.
• Save, then Go!
• Result: http://%77%77%77%2E%67%6F%6F%67%6C%65%2E%63%61/%66%69%72%65%66%6F%78?...
• Theory: from CMD.EXE, did «START http://%77%77%77%2E%67%6F%6F%67%6C%65%2E%63%61/%66%69%72%65%66%6F%78?...
• Since Mozilla Firefox is registered in my system as the default browser, Firefox attempted to load the URL.
• Result: «404: No Such Domain (Privoxy v3.0.3)» It was attempting to load from «%77%77%77%2e%67%6f%6f%67%6c%65%2e%63%61»

Possibly the results I got could be different if I wasn't browsing through a proxy, but at least I now have an example of how to convert to Hexadecimal values. And that will come in very useful in the future.

Possible improvements I can think of right now would be:

• Make the Func more intelligent, so that it only converts characters that would need to be converted, and only characters that appear after the page being requested. (I know the latter would be somewhat difficult considering some websites that pass parameters in the format of a path, such as server.com/path/file.ext/some+var/opt_05=y)
• I noticed that, when I changed the host part back to unencoded text and left everything after the "/" still encoded, the page loaded as expected. I would recommend instead of specifying some fixed value for the browser in the Run() function, use «@ComSpec & " /C " & Chr(34) & "START " & $Coded & Chr(34)», or somehow call the Windows® ShellExecute to launch the URL. Either one would allow the Script to load the URL in the system's default browser, no matter what it may be.

Here's my slightly modified copy of the Func:

CODE

Func _EncodeUrl($s_Url, $s_PreFix = 'http://')

Local $s_NUrl = ''

$s_Url = StringSplit($s_Url, '')

For $i = 1 To $s_Url[0]

If $s_Url[$i] = '/' OR $s_Url[$i] = '?' OR $s_Url[$i] = '=' Then

$s_NUrl = $s_NUrl & $s_Url[$i]

ContinueLoop

EndIf

$s_NUrl = $s_NUrl & '%' & Hex(Asc($s_Url[$i]), 2)

Next

;$s_NUrl = $s_PreFix & $s_NUrl

;Return $s_NUrl

Return ($s_PreFix & $s_NUrl)

EndFunc

$Coded = _EnCodeUrl('www.google.ca/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-CA:official')

ConsoleWrite($Coded & @CRLF)
