278 2003-07-22 06:42:05 +0000 "Referer" redirect does not preserve CGI params 2003-07-24 17:00:00 +0000 1 1 1 Unclassified Validator check 0.6.1 All All RESOLVED FIXED P2 normal 0.6.2 1 link link ralf oldest_to_newest 657 0 link 2003-07-22 06:42:05 +0000 When given "/check?uri=referer;foo=bar", the extra CGI parameters are not preserved in the resulting redirect. 658 1 ralf 2003-07-22 07:54:04 +0000 May be, one wants have the "/check/referer?foo=bar" also preserve any additional parameters. Because this was the first thing I tried and I guess, most people would try this first. It's just because the validator page recommends that "/check/referer" URL and most unexperienced people like me don't know about that "/check?uri=referer"-Feature. 660 2 ralf 2003-07-23 08:16:02 +0000 I found some links on the validation page with the same problem. When I open http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Frw7.de%2Fralf%2Ffavicon.ico;No200=1 then the link named "verbose results" points to http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Frw7.de%2Fralf%2Ffavicon.ico;verbose=1 thus drops the No200=1. The same with the "If you would like to create a link to this page"-link. 661 3 link 2003-07-24 11:19:40 +0000 The issue in Comment #2 is similar but different from Bug #278; in the latter we lose all CGI params during the redirect, in the former we simply fail to propogate the No200 param. They are similar enough however that I'll probably fix them both at the same time. Additional CGI parameters on the /check/referer URL (cf. Comment #1) are not supported and I feel no strong need to make them so. What might make sense is to begin emitting the /check?uri=referer style of URLs in Validation results. 662 4 link 2003-07-24 12:17:40 +0000 Fixed. The updated code will be in the next beta release. Please verify that all your test cases work at that time and reopen this bug if I missed something. 663 5 ralf 2003-07-24 13:00:00 +0000 Thank you very much. For anyone, who wants to make a quick check, when the code is online, try http://rw7.de/ralf/favicon.ico and click on the validator icon at the right.
