Question

I am looking at a web-app, that has a set-up page(i.e, on the actual web-app) with the following URL shown in the form(i.e, we can change it to something else):

http://www.mart.com/cpp/public_panelpage_earlyScreenOut.asp?supplier=fed&code=[%PID%][%SUPPLIER_ENCRYPT_URL%]

So I believe that the [%XYZ%] represents an argument that will be filled in dynamically? thanks!

Answer 1

Is this URL format an .ASPX convention?

It is not a convention.

So I believe that the [%XYZ%] represents an argument that will be filled in dynamically?

The usage of [% ... %] appear to be tokenizers used by a, server-side, parsing engine.

Note – when working with URL’s the % sign along the & and ? are special characters and should be encoded properly if you intend to pass them through the URL.
