I’m trying to send a URL as paramter of a query string like this

  • 0

I’m trying to send a URL as paramter of a query string like this example:

http://localhost.com/myapp.jsp?pathToFileURL=http://192.168.0.1/my_file.pdf

What I did is I used encode URL to encode the path before sending it to the server, problem is im getting a “400 Invalid URI: noSlash” because of this.

From what I read the problem is the tomcat security and that I should add a parameter to the tomcat startup

-Dorg.apache.tomcat.util.buf.UDecoder.ALLOW_ENCODED_SLASH=true

But I can’t modify the parameters of the tomcat, so is it possible to do it other way?

Thanks

    You can do URLSafebase64 encoding at the client side and URLSafebase64 decoding at the server side.
    Check URLEncoder class for more details:
    http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/net/URLEncoder.html

    You can test manually before coding using any of the online URL Encoder/Decoder. Just google for “URL Encoder/Decoder”
