How to get parameters from www.example.com/test/test?user=name1

[willemh]

Hi all.

what I want to do is to get parameters when they are not directly behind the domain name. 

What I did was in the OnHTTPCommand event retrieve the parameters (they are known at that point) and set a redirect to www.example.com/?user=name1

Biggest problem at this point is that the method described doesnt work in IIS.

Is there a workaround or am I doing something very wrong?

procedure TMainForm.UniFormCreate(Sender: TObject);
var

username_string:String;

begin

username_string :=UniApplication.Parameters.Values['user'];

 

..

 

?? is this what you search?

That is just the problem, the UniApplication.Paramters aren't filled when there is a URI before the parameter.

So www.example.com/?user=name1 works like expected, however www.example.com/test/test/?user=name1 does not! In the last case the parameters aren't filled.

If it's a mobile app don't forget the "m" at the end of the URL. I got it that way allready.

Try to read parameters at OnCreat event of the main form.

In case of Apache + ISAP module and mobile app the URL should look like  :

https://yourdomain.com/alias_from_httpd.conf/name_of_isapi_module.dll/m/?param1=.....&param2=......

Unfortunaly, that doesn't work either.

Let me clarify something. I set the URI for the historystate in the browser window. When browsing through a catalog app, I set the categories accourdingly in the browser address (eg historystate) for readablity. What I am trying to do is that if a user copies a link (www.site.com/category1/subcategroy2/?category=1234) I get the category parameter and can reconstruct where the user was.
