I have a rails application in which I would like to generate a url based on a parameter, but for that parameter to be hidden from public view. So essentially working like a POST request but being able to be typed in like a GET request.
For example using a QR reader I could have the address as www.site.com/qr?lot_no=18007 but when a user scans the QR image it only shows www.site.com/qr but displays the results related to lot_no=18007.
Not sure if this is possible or not. But any help would be greatly appreciated.
If all you want to do is to prevent it from showing up in the address bar of the browser, you could use Rails.ajax to make the request dynamically through Javascript.
That will at least hide it from casual inspection, but there is no way to suppress the parameters from the query string on a GET completely, so anyone looking at the Networks tab in the browser (for example) would still see them.
Another alternative would be to encrypt the parameter value.
Maybe the Friendly id gem may be of help here
The following is an example of it's use is
http://example.com/states/washington
instead of:
http://example.com/states/4323454
This is not going to work with a post request as you mention though. It is a way of using a get request that would normally send an id in the params hash to retrieve existing records.
The gem can be found here https://github.com/norman/friendly_id
It is well maintained and up to date
Configure different route for public facing URL, the URL should include encrypted lot id as a path param.
routes.rb
get '/view_lot/:id' => 'QrCodesController#view_lot`, as: :public_view_lot
now in QrCodesController add action view_lot
def view_lot
encrypted_id = params[:id]
id = decrypt_it(encrypted_id)
#lot = Lot.find(id)
render "your_template"
end
in you QR code generation, pass URL to above action with encrypted id like public_view_lot_url(lot_id)
All parameters transferred to URL are transferred to the report, except the first one. Date is taken by default.

rp_DateBeg is ignore by report
How can I set DateBeg parameter directly coming from URL
How to pass right date from url to parameter?
can you change culture value from url like below?
rs:Command=Render this might help as well.
//myrshost/Reportserver?/SampleReports/Product+Line+Sales&rs:Command=Render&StartDate=4/10/2008&EndDate=11/10/2008&rs:ParameterLanguage=de-DE
I want to show a pdf using google viewer like this:
https://drive.google.com/viewerng/viewer?embedded=true&url=http://unec.edu.az/application/uploads/2014/12/pdf-sample.pdf
But my page should be opened with parameters like this:
https://mywebsite.com/pdfgenerator.xhtml?parameter1=true¶meter2=false
(On this page a pdf is generated, and that is not a valid website)
That means that I should pass parameters within the url parameter of the first page, but then they get interpreted as the parameters for the first page.
https://drive.google.com/viewerng/viewer?embedded=true&url=https://mywebsite.com/pdfgenerator.xhtml?parameter1=true¶meter2=false
How do I solve this problem? How do I pass a parameter within a parameter? I can't find any information about it.
Thank you for your help.
It's solved: If you encode it using encodeURIComponent and then pass it as the parameter it works. If you need to do it quickly you can use this TryIt from W3Schools. Adjust the address, click run and click the button, then copy the link.
I have a gwt url like this
http://127.0.0.1:8888/BiddingSystem.html?gwt.codesvr=127.0.0.1:9997#ForumMessage=918
when I am doing this
Window.Location.getParameter("ForumMessage")
I am getting null??
By the way, I not getting the point why this ?gwt.codesvr=127.0.0.1:9997 in the url!!
To get the value of the URL fragment (the part after the #) call Window.Location.getHash(). This will return all of "ForumMessage=918".
getParameter() returns query parameters, not the URL fragment.
See here for more information about the parts of a URL.
The ?gwt.codesvr= part is needed to run in Development Mode.
Look at this topic GWT URL Parameters
Here is answer
url should be http://localhost:8080/?testing=abc#pg5 instead of http://localhost:8080/#pg5?testing=abc
and delete that part (?gwt.codesvr=127.0.0.1:9997 ) and run it in web mode. I think it will solve your problem
I'm trying to pass a userId (string) in the URL which will be passed to the database and used by a query in SSRS.
base URL:
http://blah/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=MyReport
I tried this, but it doesn't work:
http://blah/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=MyReport&UserId=fred
Any ideas?
First, be sure to replace Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath= with ReportServer?. In other words, instead of this:
http://server/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=/ReportFolder/ReportSubfolder/ReportName
Use this syntax:
http://server/ReportServer?/ReportFolder/ReportSubfolder/ReportName
Parameters can be referenced or displayed in a report using #ParameterName, whether they're set in the report or in the URL. You can attach parameters to the URL with &ParameterName=Value.
To hide the toolbar where parameters are displayed, add &rc:Toolbar=false to the URL (reference).
Putting that together, you can run a URL with embedded values, or call this as an action from one report and read by another report:
http://server.domain.com/ReportServer?/ReportFolder1/ReportSubfolder1/ReportName&UserID=ABC123&rc:Toolbar=false
In the report's dataset properties query: SELECT stuff FROM view WHERE User = #UserID
In the report, set the expression value to [UserID] (or =Fields!UserID.Value)
Keep in mind that if a report has multiple parameters, you might need to include all parameters in the URL, even if blank, depending on how your dataset query is written. That means repeating the parameter name for multiple values of the same parameter, too.
To pass a parameter using Action = Go to URL, set expression to:
="http://server.domain.com/ReportServer?/ReportFolder1/ReportSubfolder1/ReportName&UserID="
&Fields!UserID.Value
&"&rc:Toolbar=false"
&"&rs:ClearSession=True"
Be sure to have a space after an expression if followed by & (a line break is isn't enough). No space is required before an expression. This method can pass a parameter but does not hide it as it is visible in the URL.
If you don't include &rs:ClearSession=True then the report won't refresh until browser session cache is cleared.
To pass a parameter using Action = Go to report:
Specify the report
Add parameter(s) to run the report
Add parameter(s) you wish to pass (the parameters need to be defined in the destination report, so to my knowledge you can't use URL-specific commands such as rc:toolbar using this method); however, I suppose it would be possible to read or set the Prompt User checkbox, as seen in reporting sever parameters, through custom code in the report)
For reference, see this page on URL encoding, e.g. / = %2f
As well as what Shiraz said, try something like this:
http://<server>/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?%2f<path>%2f<ReportName>&rs:Command=Render&UserID='fred'
Note the path would only work if you are in a single folder. When I have to do this I simply browse to the report using the reportserver path ("reports" is the report manager) and copy the url then add &<ParameterName>=<value> to the end.
Try changing "Reports" to "ReportServer" in your url
According to Microsoft, the format basically is:
http://<server>/reportserver?/<path>/<report>&rs:Command=Render&<parameter>=<value>
Try passing multiple values via url:
/ReportServer?%2fService+Specific+Reports%2fFilings%2fDrillDown%2f&StartDate=01/01/2010&EndDate=01/05/2010&statuses=1&statuses=2&rs%3AFormat=PDF
This should work.
I solved a similar problem by passing the value of the available parameter in the URL instead of the label of the parameter.
For instance, I have a report with a parameter named viewName and the predefined Available Values for the parameter are: (labels/values) orders/sub_orders, orderDetail/sub_orderDetail, product/sub_product.
To call this report with a URL to render automatically for parameter=product, you must specify the value not the label.
This would be wrong:
http://server/reportserver?/Data+Dictionary/DetailedInfo&viewName=product&rs:Command=Render
This is correct:
http://server/reportserver?/Data+Dictionary/DetailedInfo&viewName=sub_product&rs:Command=Render
Use the URL, mentioned below to open the report in a new window with dynamic parameters.
="javascript:void(window.open('http://Servername/ReportServer?/Foldername/Reportname&rs:Commnd=Render¶meter1=" & Fields!A.Value & "¶meter2=" & Fields!B.Value & "'))"
Try changing "Reports" to "ReportServer" in your url.
For that just access this http://host/ReportServer/ and from there you can go to the report pages. There append your parmaters like this
&<parameter>=<value>
