I am a working on a website for a leisure portal company in Germany. I am having trouble dealing with a truncated url. If you were to go to the web link http://www.regiondo.de/staedte/duesseldorf/lernen-unterricht-duesseldorf/musikkurse-duesseldorf , on the left side of the screen under KATEGORIEN, you would see Gitarrenunterricht (1).
If you click on it, the user is redirected and gets a 404 page not found error, since the actual url to where the user is supposed to redirected is http://www.regiondo.de/staedte/duesseldorf/lernen-unterricht-duesseldorf/musikkurse-duesseldorf/gitarrenunterricht-duesseldorf , is truncated and 'duesseldorf' at the end of the url truncates to just duessel
Now I have looked at the HTML code for the webpage and it has the specific code:-
a href=/staedte/duesseldorf/lernen-unterricht-duesseldorf/musikkurse-duesseldorf/gitarrenunterricht-duessel>Gitarrenunterricht (1)
Now I understand that by changing duessel to duesseldorf I can rectify this issue but this url truncation inside the HTML is happening for many other urls as well(all of which were knowingly typed correctly). What are the possible problems or bugs from the backend which could cause such URL truncation problems. Since I am new to web development I would love to hear your suggestions and views. Thank you.
In your Magento build set the products to not use the category name in the URLs. Then the problem goes away.
http://www.example.com/index.php/admin/system_config/edit/section/catalog/
Then in Search Engine Optimisations section:
Use Categories Path for Product URLs -> No

I was sent a hyperlink to a Tableau Public link by a client. When I tried opening it, I got a 404 exception. I wrote back to the client but was told by the same that the link was working fine. I visited his profile page and was able to open the presentation there, but the URL that ended up working was slightly different than the one behind the original, non-functioning link.
Here's the anonymized URL behind the original link
https://public.tableau.com/profile/[client_name]%23!/vizhome/Project-AirportDelay/FlightPerformancesinUSA?publish=yes
And here's the URL via the profile page:
https://public.tableau.com/profile/[client_name]#!/vizhome/Project-AirportDelay/FlightPerformancesinUSA
The only differences I see are ?publish=yes and %23!. I tried appending the former, ?publish=yes, to the working URL, and it was still functional. So I suspect that it has to do with the other difference %23! vs. #!. Could the first work because he is opening it from his computer where he is likely logged onto Tableau Public? What's the difference between these syntax? Any ideas about why the original hyperlink might not be functional?
For obvious privacy reasons, I can't provide the whole URL.
It looks like the basic URL pattern for passing filters ?publish=yes
and
%23 is the URL encoded representation of #
The first # after the authority component starts the fragment component. If the # should be part of the path component or the query component, it has to be percent-encoded as %23.
As # is a reserved character, these URIs aren’t equivalent:
http://example.com/foo#bar
http://example.com/foo%23bar
There are countless ways how a URI reference could become erroneous. The culprit is often a software, like a word processor, where someone pastes the correct URI, and the software incorrectly percent-encodes it (maybe assuming that the user didn’t paste the real/correct URI).
Copy-pasting the URI from the browser address bar into a plain text document should always work correctly.
Short version: How do I know how to phrase additional data (like specific options on the page that display different html files but belong to the same URL) when getting an URL with urllib?
Long version:
I am having trouble to figure out how to handle properties of an url request that are not determined by the Link URL but by probably other information that your browser is usually sending.
To be more precise:
This page contains a table that i want to read with python, but the length of the table depends on the number of items per page you choose in the bottom left (i.e. the number of items in the code I get from urllib.request.urlopen is the standard of 50 or something, not the complete table). Clicking the buttons for e.g. 400 items per page doesn't change the URL so I expect that there is some information sent somewhere else. I understand that using urllib can send additional data besides the url, but it is unclear to me how to figure out how I should phrase the "give me the whole table" (or "give me 400 items per page") in that data.
Studying the .html file I get from saving the webpage in my browser didn't give me any hints and I miss the vocabulary to search for answers on the web (that is, googling "urllib request parameter" is too vague).
Hence I'd be completely satisfied if someone would point me to a duplicate of this question.
Thanks in advance :)
For everyone else finding this question I'll elaborate on the answer #deceze gave in the comments:
Open the webpage you want to read in your browser
Open your Browsers network panel (in chromium this is [Strg+Shift+I] or right-click > Inspect
Go to the "Network" Tab (at least in chromium)
Do whatever you want your program to do and the empty network panel list will fill with a lot of data
Find your request in the list of events (one of the very first ones is right, I would guess), click it and select "Headers"
I have a question regarding the meta property in php.
I have set
and I have a list of products that need to be displayed on the first page. Whwn I click the first product and click the like button the title that appears is different from the one I set, but when I click the other products and then click like I get the correct title. I tried clearing the cache but it didn't work and I tried verifying the link using http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug and here it teels me that the title is the one I set.
Can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong or what might be the problem? Or maybe you have a soultion for this. :D
Thanks!
Without seeing the page which is being changed and liked, it's hard to know if I am answering your question, but the information may be useful to you anyway.
The issue may be with how many likes have already added up for the page.
Note that og:title and og:type are only editable initially - after
your page receives 50 likes the title becomes fixed
Source: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraphprotocol/
This has happened to me before. The easy fix/workaround I found was this: I had been appending a query string to the page URL for tracking some stats. That URL with the query string had over 50 likes. Once I changed the query string, or left it off, the page had a different amount of likes. So when I used the Facebook linter/debugger, I used the new URL and it picked up my og:title and description change.
Are you able to post a link to the page you are having this issue with?
So I did an empty search through Advanced Search at here:
http://www.princessly.com/catalogsearch/advanced/
And Magento redirected me to here:
http://www.princessly.com/errors/report.php?id=693893419&skin=default
And when I click "Back" button to get back to http://www.princessly.com/catalogsearch/advanced/, it correctly gave me the error message: "Please specify at least one search term."
This is really weird.
My questions are:
Why did Magento not behave well by giving a nice error message at http://www.princessly.com/catalogsearch/advanced/ but rather redirected me to http://www.princessly.com/errors/report.php?id=693893419&skin=default ? This is not user-friendly IMHO.
How to specify a theme for the /errors/report.php page?
Thanks!
Seems I installed a theme which has a class file that has white spaces before the code begins, thus typical "headers already sent" error.
And one can change the theme of the error page by this guide: http://www.magentogoreview.com/custom-magento-theme-for-error-there-has-been-an-error-processing-your-request~144
I found this by the help of this doc: http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/there_has_been_an_error_processing_your_request
Hey. the busted website is: www.mgxvideo.com/mgxcopy-alpha-3, and the specific error that I'm getting is the thing where IE prints out all my source code.
As far as I can tell, the error is appearing at random in IE6, 7, and 8, but it's a commonly occuring error. I'm looking for explanations, debugging tools, fixes. Anything is appreciated, because I'm fully stuck.
Here's how to reproduce:
Add item(s) into cart.
At the display cart (the url shud end with cart_display_ie.php)
Use the shipping calculator over and over and over again until you get the error. It's happened one the first, second, 5th, and the 17th try.
Reset cookies to restart from fresh
Here are some possibly relevant details
1and1 hosting, php from scratch, and mysql
I'm using Mark Sanborn's php code to interface with UPS's servers.
I'm using a local DTD for xhtml transitional 1.0
This error also appears in the checkout cart and also seems associated with the UPS function.
This isn't directly relevant, but IE also plagues me with "The XML page cannot be displayed."
Occassionally, the "The XML page cannot be displayed" is displayed as a small canvas within the context of a source print like the error I'm printing. It'll appear near the location of the error in html source, except the canvas has a really small width and height, and not display any further source code afterwards. I've fixed all these errors; they were all caused by improper syntax or w3 rationing of DTD downloads.
The cart_display*.php is responsible for adding products, removing products, and calculating shipping.
Sometimes it's something stupid like custom settings on my computer b/c I tweak with random settings that cause side effects. But I've tested in msft's VirtualPC, and had friends reproduce the error.
Here are some resources of similar problems. I haven't tried them because--even if they work--they mean that the website doesn't work at typical/default settings.

Like I said: any explanations, tools, guesses, or fixes are fully appreciated. I'm trying to finalize the site so I can present it as a beta within the week, and I'm fully stuck. Also, is there a workaround (like a tag) that can hide this error from the user?
I grabbed a network capture of the repro using Fiddler (www.fiddler2.com).
It looks like you're sending an HTML comment containing a webservice result before the HTML body. It further looks like IE is subsequently sniffing this as an XML body instead of a HTML response.
It appears that if you move your HTML comment inside your HTML tag, the problem goes away.
Note that you should confirm changes in a new browser tab. Once IE is on an XML page, simply hitting F5/Refresh isn't necessarily going to show you the HTML content properly due to caching of the MIME-type decision.
To resolve this issue, you need to re-register two dlls.
Open a elevated command prompt and type following commands
regsvr32 /i mshtml.dll
regsvr32 /i shdocvw.dll
