  • SERVLET FILTERS TO DECODE ENCODED REQUEST PARAMETERS
    Publication number: 20070083671
    Abstract: A method to decode encoded parameters may include finding and removing any parameters in a request Universal Resource Locator (URL) or the like. A servlet filter may be invoked to find and remove delimiters and parameters from the request URL. The method may also include creating a servlet request wrapper and adding any parameters to the servlet request wrapper. The method may further include passing the servlet request wrapper including any parameters to a target servlet to respond to the request URL. The encoding of request parameters allows search engines to follow URL links that they might not follow when the parameters are specified in the standard manner as specified by Hypertext Transfer Protocol.
