url handling

[Oliver Lambert]

Hi

I notice lift sometimes lift rewrites the url a little
e.g. - http://localhost:9090/enter becomes http://localhost:9090/enter?fnVT32KHAJRTHI5RNQ2XBY=_

What are the rules for when this happens?
Is there anyway to write a lift application where it doesn't happen?

cheers
Oliver

Looks like a function will be executed when this request is submitted.

In what conditions are you seeing this? Are you calling S.redirectTo
and pass a function? ... or use RedirectWithState?

Oliver,

Lift will only create these types of URL when you pass params when
creating a link.

There is a very sophisticated rewriting engine in lift, so a better
question would be what do you want your URL to look like?

Thanks, Tim

Im using a net.liftweb.http.S.redirectTo within a stateful snippet.

[Oliver Lambert]

Simple, I would like my url to be called without ?... tacked onto the
end.

Are you sure you're using S.redirectTo? For one, that's not what you want if you want to keep using the same stateful snippet instance. Second, if you're not calling it explicitly (i.e. using just "redirectTo"), the "this" version of redirectTo on StatefulSnippet may be firing.

Yeah but there are 2 overloaded versions. Are you also pasing a
function to it?

[Oliver Lambert]

It sounds like the this version is firing. What should I be using?

[Oliver Lambert]

No, but as Derek suggests, it sounds a bit like the stateful snippet
is doing it for me.

[Marius]

It really does ... In fact redirectTo from StatefulSnippet calls
S.redirectTo and passes a function which sets this current snippet on
S when redirect happens.
