Yes, it is true that WWWOFFLE makes the URL that it displays in the index prettier for humans to read. Without this a lot of URLs would just look like a mess of '%' characters and hexadecimal digits. > $ lynx -dump -width=444 http://localhost:8080/index/monitor|grep pts|cut -c 88- > .tw/php/program/main.php?MODE=WEEK&WEEK=0;depth=0 > .tw/php/program/main.php?MODE=WEEK&WEEK=2;depth=0 > .tw/php/program/main.php?MODE=WEEK&WEEK=1;depth=0 > .tw/php/program/main.php?MODE=WEEK&WEEK=3;depth=0 > .tw/php/program/main.php?MODE=WEEK&WEEK=4;depth=0 > .tw/php/program/main.php?MODE=WEEK&WEEK=5;depth=0 > .php?MODE=WEEK&WEEK=0;depth=0 > .php%3FMODE%3DWEEK%26WEEK%3D2;depth=0 > .php%3FMODE%3DWEEK%26WEEK%3D1;depth=0 > .php?MODE=WEEK&WEEK=3;depth=0 > .php%3FMODE%3DWEEK%26WEEK%3D4;depth=0 > .php%3FMODE%3DWEEK%26WEEK%3D5;depth=0 > > The top half looks hunky dory, but the bottom half, lynx's link list, > reveals they are different. > > The shorter URLs are due to an experiment and don't belong in > WWWOFFLE, but still one would hope they would look different. Getting the correct amount of URL encoding into a URL so that it is processed in the correct way when it has to go through several layers is difficult. It is much better to let WWWOFFLE sort out these tasks than to try injecting URLs yourself. -- Andrew. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew M.
