URL inside of another URL (as path)

I want to use the following type of URL in Restlet: http://url.com/http://www.anotherurl.com/path As a result I want to get http://www.anotherurl.com/path as a parameter. However it does nothing.

Also, if I use http://url.com/path , then I receive "path" without problems. http://url.com/www.anotherurl.com gives me www.anotherurl.com. However http://url.com/www.anotherurl.com/path is 404.

In fact, there are two parts here.

  • The URL building using the Reference class:

    Reference ref = new Reference();
ref.setScheme("http");
ref.setHostDomain("localhost");
ref.setHostPort(8182);
ref.addSegment("test");
ref.addSegment("http://test");

ClientResource cr = new ClientResource(ref);
cr.get();

  • Getting the value as a path parameter and decode it. Here is the routing configuration in the application class:

    public Restlet createInboundRoot() {
    Router router = new Router(getContext());
    router.attach("/test/{id}", MyServerResource.class);
    return router;
}

    And the corresponding code in the server resource:

    public class MyServerResource extends ServerResource {
    @Get
    public Representation get() {
        String id = getAttribute("id");
        // Prints http%3A%2F%2Ftest
        System.out.println("id = "+id);
        // Prints http://test
        System.out.println("id = "+Reference.decode(id));
        return new EmptyRepresentation();
    }
}

Hope it helps you, Thierry

You need to encode the parameter special characters properly. Use URLEncoder to do so.
