URL Encoding

The URL query string, the name and the value of the following field consist of the same characters.
Following characters should NOT appear encoded over the wire: "-","_", "."

Imortant: some of these characters can trigger some unexpected behaviour when being used in the querystring. For example # is used for bookmarks, everything after it is ignored.

Submit FORM using the GET method to test URL enconding the same way as POST before.

Check this link:
data2html.asp?%?#[]{}|\&=@:^~`"$-_.+!*'(),<>;/
data2html.asp?%?[]{}|\&=@:^~`"$-_.+!*'(),<>;/#

A link containing spaces:
data2html.asp?a link containing spaces
Something special (note the space between [ ]):
data2html.asp?%?[ ]{}|\&=@:^~`"$-_.+!*'(),<>;/#

URL Handling

This link uses two question marks.
data2html.asp?Intermediate?testfield1=testvalue1

A URL query string with invalid hex encoding must also be kept in the URL.
data2html.asp?hexdata=%65%66%67%INVALID%HEX%ENCODING

Binary data in URLs must not be converted to FORMS by the recorder. The following URL contains  0x02, 0x01, 0x00.
data2html.asp?databytes=3&%02=%01&NowThereIsATerminatingZero%00AndThenNothing

A relative URL with absolute URLs included in the query string. The URL in the HttpRequestHeaderFromClient log should be the same as in HttpRequestHeaderToServer log.
data2html.asp?https://cipehbu.cdg.citibank.de/HomeBankingSecure/StartSession.asp&http://cipehbu.cdg.citibank.de/HomeBanking/BrowserSecurity4.htm&LANG=4,LANGNAME=German_(Germany),DEVICEMODE=HTMLGPH,SRCT=10,CARDTYP=001,oatmeal=

(this one does not work) data2html.asp?https://cipehbu.cdg.citibank.de/HomeBankingSecure/StartSession.asp&http://cipehbu.cdg.citibank.de/HomeBanking/BrowserSecurity4.htm&LANG=4,LANGNAME=German_(Germany),DEVICEMODE=HTMLGPH,SRCT=10,CARDTYP=001,oatmeal=

(next try) data2html.asp?1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890

URLs with multiple '=' must result in a correct form (caused problems in previous versions, fixed since 2.6).
data2html.asp?login/=user=Guest

No secure URL with a :/ in the querystring can be handled by record/replay!
Detected in Build618.
The secure request https://demo.borland.com/data2html.asp?:/ cannot be recorded/replayed.

Common Forms

Submit a form using the GET method to data2html.asp?Intermediate

Submit a form using the POST method to data2html.asp?Intermediate

Submit a form using the GET method to data2html.asp

Submit a form using the POST method to data2html.asp

The next problem is likely due to the use of "?" as a delimiter in the url string. This is a form post without input fields:

   <form action="data2html.asp?_SessionId_=000?_SessionType_=WEB?_User_=user1?_Password_=user1?_ContextId_=2000? HTTP/1.0" method="POST">
     <input type="submit">
   </form>

This results in following bdl(detected in SP3.5.1, build 658):

   WebFormPostEx("http://your_host_here/data2html.asp?_SessionId_=000", TESTSITE_DATA2HTML_ASP001);
   ...
  
   TESTSITE_DATA2HTML_ASP001:
     " HTTP/1.0" := "WEB?_User_=user1?_Password_=user1?_ContextId_=2000? HTTP/1.0";

Various Form Submissions

A form POST with multiple '=' must result in a correct BDL form.

A form POST with hex encoded binary data must be converted into WebUrlPostBin.

Big POST.

POST data to server with URL params.

POST data to server with URL params and non-standard encoding.

Big GET (>4kB).


Note: During replay you will get following error: "WebForm commands: too many/long URL search parameters!"

Note: IE5.5 is not able to send that long GET requests - the limit is at about 2k bytes.
Just cut the lines out of the text area 'till the request is sent.

POST with Content-Length: 0.

POST with Content-Length: 0 but with an querystring in the url

Submit buttons of the next four forms have values with special characters.

(method=GET)
(method=POST)
(method=GET)
(method=POST)
