Hello,
I have tried to use the "Task.HttpURL" function to retrieve
the full URL but I can only successfully retrieve only a
portion of it.
The current URL should be as follows:
http://128.111.173.242:82/surfer/click/HELP?
ScreenID=scheduleofclasses.mainscreen&SessionKey=1_Fre121046
3343_1210842156&C_POS=491
However, the only values I can retrieve are:
/surfer/click/HELP?ScreenID=scheduleofclasses.mainscreen
What options can you suggest to properly retrieve the all
values of the current URL?
Thanks,
CHuck

Chuck, the task.httpurl variable will not show you the
information prior to the "surfer" portion of the url since
this is always the IP address/DNS name of your Screensurfer
server and the terminal port which in your case is
the "http://128.111.173.242:82".
Now, as to why you are only seeing:
"/surfer/click/HELP?ScreenID=scheduleofclasses.mainscreen"
instead of:
/surfer/click/HELP?
ScreenID=scheduleofclasses.mainscreen&SessionKey=1_Fre121046
3343_1210842156&C_POS=491
How are you displaying the contents of task.httpurl? are
you storing the variable value in a user defined
Screensurfer variable? If so, possibly the size of the
variable is too small?

Big Kahuna,
The following code I am using to check for the values are
as follows:
"Teshow Task.httpURL"
I haven't stored the value in a variable.
Thanks,
Chuck

Chuck, before I "tap" some additional resources as to why
you are not seeing the entire URL, can you briefly explain
to me why you want the entire URL? Depending on what you
want this information for, I could possibly provide you a
workaround....
Thanks.

We are in the process of releasing a few applications using
one screen surfer.
Since these applications will all have the ability to
timeout, I would like to display an appropriate message for
each separate application using the INVALID section.
However, once an application times-out I can no longer
retrieve any session variables. Therefore, I determine the
session/connection number from the URL (by the use of a
FindText() calculation) so that I may be able to display a
webpage appropriate to that particular application. Being
able to determine the sessionID/Connection number from the
httpURL will allow us to do so. The "httpreferrer"
function, which displays all values, could also be used,
but we've run into more problems using this method.
Thanks.

The reason the URL isn't fully there is that the holding-
place for it in the Task area is not that big...we can
increase it in future releases, but the real solution is
for you to just look at the sessionkey--you can use the
WebText("sessionkey") function to do this...
But, then you need to parse-out the session number--to do
this, use a UserTask variable, like:
<tedeclare var UserTask.SessionID Integer>
<tedeclare var UserTask.Offset Integer>
<tedeclare var UserTask.Key text 20>
....
In the invalid section:
<teset UserTask.Key=WebText("sessionkey")>
<teif UserTask.Key!="">
<teset
UserTask.Offset=
FindText(UserTask.Key,"_")>
<teset
UserTask.SessionID=
TextLeft(UserTask.Key,UserTask.Offset)>
<!-- Now have original SessionID in UserTask.SessionID-->
<teelse>
<teset UserTask.SessionID=-1>
</teif>
