URLencode- how do you decode?

M

Mike Mueller

I am using one of those wonderful asp/database security combos, and the page
requested is encoded. I would like the user to login and then go to the
page they desired, as opposed to a generic menu. Probably a simple thing
that I haven't thought of yet.

It depends entirely on what kind of encoding. If you're talking about ASP,
it's Server.UrlDecode.

Mike,
you shouldn't need to decode> presumably you want something like this?

at the top of a secured page
<%
if ' user is not authenticated then
response.redirect
"Login.asp?page=<%=server.urlencode(request.servervariables("script_name"))%
"
Click to expand...
end if
%>

and then on login.asp
<%
if request.form <> "" then
' check user credentials
' if we get here he's logged in redirect him
' either to the page he wanted or a default page
if request("page") <> "" then
response.redirect request("page")
else
response.redirect "DefaultLoggedInPage.asp
end if
else
%>
<form method="post" action="login.asp">
' user and pass fields here
<input type="hidden" name="page" value="<%=request("page")%>">
