today's question involves URLLoader requests using encrypted strings.
when I encrypt a string I get the following result:

I send it in, everything seems fine on Flex's end. But when I go to the serverside (logfiles, not allowed to change server-side code) to check what I'm getting, I end up with this:

at first glance they're the same, but if you check closely, the + gets replaced by a whitespace...
I've even tried switching the + for %2B but on the server-side it gets read as %2B, it isn't converted to a + (flex doesn't seem to function as a browser in this case).
Any kind of insight and help on this matter would be very appreciated.
The requests are being done as follows:
public function callService(callback:String, request:String):void{
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest(server);
var requestedString:String = handlePluses(request);
url.useCache = false;
url.contentType = contentType;
url.method = method;
trace("sending: " + requestedString);
url.data += requestedString);
serverURL.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, treatIO);
serverURL.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;
serverURL.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadData);
serverURL.addEventListener(Event.CONNECT, function():void{trace("connected");});
try{
serverURL.load(url);
}catch(e:ArgumentError){trace("ArgError: " + e.message);}
catch(e:SecurityError){trace("SecError: " + e.message);}
catch(e:TimeoutEvent){trace("===========<Timeout>===========");}
}
we fixed this problem by switching the + character with a subset of escaped characters like \&\#.
this might be a problem to others attempting the same thing and trying to keep to a minimum size.

I am wondering is it possible to run a function that outputs a line that javascript can read and recognize as a variable and not as a string? I have pulled JSON data and what I want to do is to take the object data and dynamically write out variables from it on the fly. I hope this is possible..
function createVar(data){
return "var_" + data.name + data.id + "=_" + data.desc;
//This will return the line :
var itemModel1 = "I no longer vote";
}
I have to say that I don't really recommend this, but it does work.
function createVar(data){
return "var " + data.name + data.id + "='" + data.desc + "'";
}
var exampleData = {name:"itemModel", id:"1", desc:"Today we went to the mall"}
eval(createVar(exampleData));
console.log(itemModel1); //outputs "Today we went to the mall" to the console
I will clarify by saying that if you actually need to generate variable names on the fly, this will do the trick. But I would more closely examine your code to see if there is another way to accomplish what you are trying to do. As always, you have to be very careful with eval, bad things can happen if user input gets passed as your data parameter.
First time poster here for Google Script related services, hopefully I put it in the right place! I'm encountering an error and I can't seem to find the right terminology to look up a solution. Below is the function. Within it I have a variable, string1, that I apply the split to. If I hard-code the value of the string (in the line commented out in the string), then it works and I receive the correct output. If, on the other hand, I try to pass that string into the function from another function, I receive the following error:
"TypeError: Cannot find function split in object Wed Oct 30 2013 09:00:26 GMT-0400 (EDT),danno,ticket,netid,request,mac,Error - Invalid Mac / Mac Not Found."
Note: My call to the function looks like this - formatEmailRow(completeEmailArray[i])
function formatEmailRow(rowToFormat) {
var formattedString = "";
var array1 = [];
var string1 = "";
///////////////////////
string1 = rowToFormat;
//string1 ="10/30/2013 9:00:26,danno,ticket,netid,request,mac,Error - Invalid Mac / Mac Not Found ";
///////////////////////
array1 = string1.split(",| ,|, ");
if (array1 != ""){
for (var i = 0; i < array1.length; i++) {
formattedString = formattedString + " " +(array1[i]);
}}
return formattedString;
}
Please help!
Thanks ahead of time, any advice is appreciated!

You're getting that error because .split() isn't a method contained in the type of object you've passed in. Since you're new to this, it's worth a pause to read up on Objects and Methods - this is a quick overview.
You want to receive a String, but it seems that you're not. The problem will be with the code that's calling formatEmailRow().
My guess is that you're passing an array - probably all the cells in a row - but here's how you can check.
Add this line as the first line in your function:
Logger.log("rowToFormat = " + JSON.stringify(rowToFormat));
... then run, with your error. Check the logs - you want to see that you are getting a simple string. If you're getting an array, then you know what you need to fix. (Maybe you want to get the array after all!)

I have a FLA file of a game coded in ActionScript 3.
The game has a string inside, "www.mywebsite.com".
I want that when someone opens this FLA and searches for ".com" or "mywebsite.com" to find nothing. So I have decided to encode that string somehow. But I never coded in Flash, so I have no idea what to start with and Google isn't helping.
Basically all I want to do is replace this line:
var url1 = 'www.mywebsite.com';
With something like this and be functional.
var url1 = base64_decode('asdahwiyadwaeawr==');
Even a XOR or other simple string manipulation algorithm would be good.
What options do I have without importing any non-standard libraries into Flash?
Anyone looking through your code at something like var url = BlaBla_decode("cvxcvxc"); can simply replace it with var url = "www.HisWebsite.com...
So I guess you're supposing no one will be going through your script line by line but instead search for ".com" (Which would make him a really lazy jerk)!
A simple solution is to come up with a function that would return "www.MyWebsite.com" without writing it;
Something like:
var url:String = youAreStupid();
function youAreStupid():String
{
return String(f(22) + f(22) + f(22) + "extra.extra" + f(12) + f(24) + f(22) + f(4) + f(1) + f(18) + f(8) + f(19) + f(4) + "extra.extra" + f(2) + f(14) + f(12)).replace(/extra/g, "");
}
function f(n:Number):String
{
return String.fromCharCode("a".charCodeAt(0) + n);
}
I can't but say this would be lame way to protect your document, and I suggest you keep a comment at the top of your Script (something clearly visible) : // You won't find it YOU ARE STUPID
Now if he's smart enough to search for youAreStupid, that means he's entitled to change it :p
Of course there's also the simpler:
String("-Ow-Mw-Gw-!.-Ym-Oy-Uw-Ae-Rb-Es-Si-Ot-Se-T.-Uc-Po-Im-D").replace(/-./g, "");
but that's no fun!!!
http://localhost/catalog/{"request": "catalog","user_id": "test#gmail.com","purchased": "2"}
here goes my request URL. I need to test my service with a sample URL typed in browser. But it seems that many of the JSON items do not accepted by the server side. if i enter plane text string server works fine. I tried to encode the URL using http://www.albionresearch.com/misc/urlencode.php, but still the errors are there.
May be this is a problem which belongs to tapestry. Else i would like to get some help.
following request works.
http://localhost/catalog/helloworld
tapestry performs its own encoding of parameters within urls, which there is no replica for on the client side.
see org.apache.tapestry5.internal.services.URLEncoderImpl.encode(String)
the reason 'helloworld' works as expected is that there are no 'special characters' so the escaped value would equal 'helloworld' anyway.
So you will either need to encode your json via java using tapestry's URLEncoder or write a client side replica.
that is, if i understand your question properly.
EDIT i was bored so I wrote the client side replica:
/**
* see org.apache.tapestry5.internal.services.URLEncoderImpl.encode(String)
* correct as at tapestry 5.3.5
*/
function tapestryUrlEncodeParameter(input)
{
var safe = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
+ "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
+ "01234567890-_.:";
if (input === null)
return "$N";
input = input.toString();
if (input === "")
return "$B";
var output = "";
for (var i = 0; i < input.length; i++)
{
var ch = input.charAt(i);
if (ch === '$')
{
output += "$$";
continue;
}
if (safe.indexOf(ch) != -1)
{
output += ch;
continue;
}
var chHex = ch.charCodeAt(0).toString(16);
while (chHex.length < 4)
chHex = "0" + chHex;
output += "$" + chHex;
}
return output;
}
What do you have server side? Either way you will have to decode your encoded json string on the server side if you want to do it this way.
A better solution might be to use a testing tool of some kind. This could be as simple as a jquery $.get request in a webpage or perhaps you might want to think about a more versatile HTTP client as suggested in this post
I have a textInput control that sends .txt value to an array collection. The array collection is a collection of US zip codes so I use a regular expression to ensure I only get digits from the textInput.
private function addSingle(stringLoader:ArrayCollection):ArrayCollection {
arrayString += (txtSingle.text) + '';
var re:RegExp = /\D/;
var newArray:Array = arrayString.split(re);
The US zip codes start at 00501. Following the debugger, after the zip is submitted, the variable 'arrayString' is 00501. But once 'newArray' is assigned a vaule, it removes the first two 0s and leaves me with 501. Is this my regular expression doing something I'm not expecting? Could it be the array changing the value? I wrote a regexp test in javascript.
<script type="text/javascript">
var str="00501";
var patt1=/\D/;
document.write(str.match(patt1));
</script>
and i get null, which leads me to believe the regexp Im using is fine. In the help docs on the split method, I dont see any reference to leading 0s being a problem.
**I have removed the regular expression from my code completely and the same problem is still happening. Which means it is not the regular expression where the problem is coming from.
Running this simplified case:
var arrayString:String = '00501';
var re:RegExp = /\D/;
var newArray:Array = arrayString.split(re);
trace(newArray);
Yields '00501' as expected. There's nothing in the code you've posted that would strip leading zeros. You may want to dig around a bit more.
This smells suspiciously like Number coercion: Number('00501') yields 501. Read through the docs for implicit conversions and check if any pop up in your code.
What about this ?
/^\d+$/
You can also specify exactly 5 numbers like this :
/^\d{5}$/
I recommend just getting the zip codes instead of splitting on non-digits (especially if 'arrayString' might have multiple zip codes):
var newArray:Array = [];
var pattern:RegExp = /(\d+)/g;
var zipObject:Object;
while ((zipObject = pattern.exec(arrayString)) != null)
{
newArray.push(zipObject[1]);
}
for (var i:int = 0; i < newArray.length; i++)
{
trace("zip code " + i + " is: " + newArray[i]);
}
