First thing, Dan, are you using the most recent version of libUrl (1.0.13). This is the version that shipped with Rev 2.1.2. If you're using an older version of Rev, you can get the libUrl update here:
<http://www.runrev.com/revolution/developers/interimreleases/liburl/ releases.shtml>
It contains some changes to the url parsing routines that might be significant for urls like the one you are using.
Yeah, I figured that would work but I was trying to avoid it because it makes the file really funny to edit on the server side. I'll have to bypass the usual filesystem editing techniques and write a custom script on the server to decode the field before placing it into the editor there if I allow the user to edit the file directly on the server. For now, I'll finesse that by requiring the user always to access the file via the Rev app.
I have a URL that looks sort of like:
http://www.sitename.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:[EMAIL PROTECTED] filename=test2.txt&text="This
is some text"
Typed into a browser, it works perfectly.
Run from Revolution, only the first word of the text string appears as a value in file being created on the server.
The server won't like spaces in the text string, so you'll need to urlEncode that part.E.g.:
put "http://www.sitename.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:[EMAIL PROTECTED] filename=test2.txt&text=" into tUrl
put urlEncode("This is some text") after tUrl
get url tUrl
etc.
By the way, should the "!filename" not be "&filename"?Yep. Good catch.
I did get this all working about 1:30 a.m. today using the urlEncode approach, so I'm most of the way down the road for the first release of the project.
Thanks to you and Jan Schenkel for the clue!
