See [url with multiple forward slashes, does it break anything?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10161177/url-with-multiple-forward-slashes-does-it-break-anything), [Are there any downsides to using double-slashes in URLs?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11256190/are-there-any-downsides-to-using-double-slashes-in-urls), [What does the double slash mean in URLs?](https://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/8354/what-does-the-double-slash-mean-in-urls/8381#8381) and [RFC 3986 - Uniform Resource Identifier (URI): Generic Syntax](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3986).

Consensus: browsers will do the request as-is, they will not alter the request. The `/` character is the path separator, but as path segments are defined as:

    path-abempty  = *( &quot;/&quot; segment )
    segment       = *pchar

Means the slash after `http://example.com/` can directly be followed by another slash, ad infinitum. Servers might ignore it, but browsers don&#39;t, as you have figured out.

The phrase:

&gt; If a URI does not contain an authority component, then the path cannot begin
with two slash characters (&quot;//&quot;).

Allows for [protocol-relative URLs](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/743247/types-of-urls), but specifically states in that case no authority (`server.com:80` in your example) may be present.

So: yes, it is valid, no, don&#39;t use it.

I have a website that allows the user to upload a file multiple times for processing.  At the moment I have a single file input but I want to be able to remember the users choice and show it on the screen.

What I want to know how to do is after a user selects a file I will remember their choice and redisplay the file input with the file pre-selected on reload of the page.  All I need to know is how to remember and repopulate a file input. 

I am also open to approaches that don&#39;t use a file input (if that is possible).

I am using JQuery


Remember and Repopulate File Input

I am using java(Servlets, JSPs) since 2 years for web application development. In those 2 years I never required to use `multithreading`(explicitly - as I know that servlet containers uses threading to serve same servlet to different requests) in any project.

But whenever I attend an interview for Web Developer position(java), then there are several questions related to threads in java. I know the basics of java threading so answering the questions is not a problem. But sometimes I get confused whether I am missing something while developing web application by not using mutithreading?

So my question is that what is the role of `multithreading` in Web Application? Any example where `multithreading` can be used in web application will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I have a question regarding URLs:

I&#39;ve read the [RFC 3986][1] and still have a question about one URL:

&gt; If a URI contains an authority component, then the path component   
&gt; must either be empty or begin with a slash (&quot;/&quot;) character.  If a URI 
&gt; does not contain an authority component, then the path cannot begin   
&gt; with two slash characters (&quot;//&quot;).  In addition, a URI reference   
&gt; (Section 4.1) may be a relative-path reference, in which case the   
&gt; first path segment cannot contain a colon (&quot;:&quot;) character.  The ABNF  
&gt; requires five separate rules to disambiguate these cases, only one of 
&gt; which will match the path substring within a given URI reference.  We 
&gt; use the generic term &quot;path component&quot; to describe the URI substring   
&gt; matched by the parser to one of these rules.

I know, that `//server.com:80/path/info` is valid (it is a schema relative URL)

I also know that `http://server.com:80/path//info` is valid.

But I am not sure whether the following one is valid:

    http://server.com:80//path/info

The problem behind my question is, that a cookie is not sent to `http://server.com:80//path/info`, when created by the URI `http://server.com:80/path/info` with restriction to `/path`

I&#39;m trying to set up some selenium tests to our staging server using Sauce Labs. It&#39;s behind a basic http auth, so theoretically I could set the selenium URL to `http://user:password@www.stagesite.com`. *However,* the password contains a &quot;@&quot;, causing all sorts of problems as you can imagine. I tried escaping it with a backslash but that did nothing from what I can tell.

So,

1. is there an alternative way to do http authentication using selenium, i.e., not via the URL. Or,

2. is there a way to use URL-based auth but somehow tell the browser that the &quot;@&quot; is part of the password?

I was asked to build a site , and one of the co-developer told me That I would  need to include the keep-alive header.


Well I read alot about it and still I have questions.

[msdn -&gt;][1]

&gt; The open connection improves performance when a client makes multiple
&gt; requests for Web page content, because the server can return the
&gt; content for each request more quickly. Otherwise, the server has to
&gt; open a new connection for every request



Looking at 

 ![enter image description here][2]

* When The IIS (F) sends `keep alive` header (*or user sends keep-alive*)  , does it mean that (`E`,`C`,`B`) save a connection which is only for my session ? 
* Where does this info is kept ( *&quot;this connection belongs to &quot;Royi&quot;*) ?
* Does it mean that no one else can use that connection
* If so - does it mean that keep alive-header - reduce the number of overlapped connection users ?
* if so , for how long does the connection is saved to me ? (in other words  , if I set keep alive- &quot;keep&quot; till when?)

  p.s. for those who interested :

Keep-alive header clarification

I have always been trying to avoid using most of the HTTP protocol&#39;s properties for the sake of fear of the unknown.

However, I said to myself that I&#39;m going to face fear today and start using headers purposefully. I have been trying to send `json` data to the browser and use it right away. For example, if I have an Ajax handler function on ready state 4 which looks like so:

    function ajaxHandler(response){
        alert(response.text);
    }

And I have set the content-type header in my PHP code:

    header(&#39;Content-Type: application/json&#39;);
    echo json_encode(array(&#39;text&#39; =&gt; &#39;omrele&#39;));

Why can&#39;t I directly access the property from the handler function, when the browser is clearly told that the incoming data is `application/json`?



HTTP Content-Type Header and JSON

While using the [`requests` module](http://requests.readthedocs.org/en/latest/), is there any way to print the raw HTTP request? 

I don&#39;t want just the headers, I want the request line, headers, and content printout. Is it possible to see what ultimately is constructed from HTTP request?

Python requests - print entire http request (raw)?

&gt; Keep-alives were added to HTTP to basically reduce the significant
&gt; overhead of rapidly creating and closing socket connections for each
&gt; new request. The following is a summary of how it works within HTTP
&gt; 1.0 and 1.1:
&gt; 
&gt;   HTTP 1.0 	The HTTP 1.0 specification does not really delve into how
&gt; Keep-Alive should work. Basically, browsers that support Keep-Alive
&gt; appended an additional header to the request as [edited for clarity] explained below:
&gt; 
&gt;   When the server processes the request and
&gt; generates a response, it also adds a header to the response:
&gt;
&gt;   **Connection: Keep-Alive** 	
&gt;
&gt; When this is done, the socket connection is
&gt; not closed as before, but kept open after sending the response. When
&gt; the client sends another request, it reuses the same connection. The
&gt; connection will continue to be reused until either the client or
&gt; the server decides that the conversation is over, and one of them drops the connection.

The above explanation [comes from here][1]. But I don&#39;t understand one thing 

&gt; When this is done, the socket connection is not closed as before, but
&gt; kept open after sending the response.

As I understand we just send tcp packets to make requests and responses, how this `socket connection` helps and how does it work? We still have to send packets, but how can it somehow establish the persistent connection? It seems so unreal.

Explain http keep-alive mechanism

How should I update the address bar URL with a changing query parameter using AngularJS&#39; ui-router to maintain state when refreshing the page?

Currently, I am using `$state.transitionTo(&#39;search&#39;, {q: &#39;updated search term&#39;})` whenever input changes, but the problem is that this reloads the controller, redraws the window and loses any text input focus.

Is there a way to update stateParams and sync it to the window URL?

In Flask, when I have several routes for the same function,
how can I know which route is used at the moment?

For example:

    @app.route(&quot;/antitop/&quot;)
    @app.route(&quot;/top/&quot;)
    @requires_auth
    def show_top():
        ....

How can I know, that now route was called using `/top/` or `/antitop/`?

**UPDATE**

I know about `request.path` I don&#39;t want use it, because the request can be rather complex, and I want repeat the routing logic in the function. I think that the solution with `url_rule` it the best one.

Flask: get current route

Is there a way to parse a URL (with some python library) and return a python dictionary with the keys and values of a query parameters part of the URL?

For example:

    url = &quot;http://www.example.org/default.html?ct=32&amp;op=92&amp;item=98&quot;

expected return:

    {&#39;ct&#39;:32, &#39;op&#39;:92, &#39;item&#39;:98}



URL query parameters to dict python

I am trying to use python to change the hostname in a url, and have been playing around with the urlparse module for a while now without finding a satisfactory solution. As an example, consider the url:

https://www.google.dk:80/barbaz

I would like to replace &quot;www.google.dk&quot; with e.g. &quot;www.foo.dk&quot;, so I get the following url:

https://www.foo.dk:80/barbaz. 

So the part I want to replace is what urlparse.urlsplit refers to as hostname. I had hoped that the result of urlsplit would let me make changes, but the resulting type ParseResult doesn&#39;t allow me to. If nothing else I can of course reconstruct the new url by appending all the parts together with +, but this would leave me with some quite ugly code with a lot of conditionals to get &quot;://&quot; and &quot;:&quot; in the correct places.

Changing hostname in a url

Say I have a [single-page application](http://espy.github.io/ubersicht/) that uses a third party API for content. The app’s logic is in-browser only; there is no backend I can write to.

To allow deep-linking into the state of the app, I use `pushState()` to keep track of a few variables that determine the state of the app. (Note that Ubersicht’s public version doesn’t do this yet.) 

* **Variables:** `repos`, `labels`, `milestones`, `username`, `show_open` (bool), `with_comments` (bool), and `without_comments` (bool).
* **URL format:** `?label=label_1,label_2,label_3&amp;repos=repo_1…`. 
* **Values:** the usual suspects. Roughly, `[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]`, or any boolean indicator.

So far so good. 

Now, since the query string can be a bit long and unwieldy and I would like to be able to pass around URLs like `http://espy.github.io/ubersicht/?state=SOMOPAQUETOKENTHATLOSSLESSLYDECOMPRESSESINTOTHEORIGINALVALUES#hoodiehq`, the shorter the better.

My first attempt was going to be using some zlib-like algorithm for [this](https://github.com/imaya/zlib.js). Then @flipzagging pointed to [antirez/**smaz**](https://github.com/antirez/smaz), which looks more suitable for short strings. ([JavaScript version here]( https://github.com/personalcomputer/smaz.js).)

Since `=` and `&amp;` are not specifically handled in the Javascript version (see [line 9 of the main lib file](https://github.com/personalcomputer/smaz.js/blob/master/lib/smaz.js#L9)), we might be able to tweak things a little there.

Furthermore, there is an option for encoding the values in a fixed table. With this option, the order of arguments is pre-defined and all we need to keep track of is the actual value. Example: turn `a=hamster&amp;b=cat` into `7hamster3cat` (length+chars) or `hamster|cat` (value + `|`), potentially before the smaz compression.

Is there anything else I should be looking for?


How to compress URL parameters

I started developing a web-app with angularJS and I&#39;m not sure that everything is right secured (client and server side). 
Security is based on a single login page, if credentials are checked ok, my server sends back an unique token with custom time-validity. All other REST api are accessible through this token.
The application (client) browse to my entry-point ex: https://www.example.com/home.html user insert credentials and receive back a unique token. This unique token is stored in the server database with AES or other secure techniques, it is not stored in clear format.

From now on, my AngluarJS app will use this token to authenticate to all REST Api exposed.

I&#39;m thinking on temporary store the token in a custom http cookie; basically, when the server verifies the credentials, it sends back a new cookie Ex. 

    app-token : AIXOLQRYIlWTXOLQRYI3XOLQXOLQRYIRYIFD0T

The cookie has the [secure][1] and [HTTP Only][2] flags set on.
Http protocol directly manage the new cookie and store it. Successive requests will presents the cookie with the new parameter, without the need to manage it and store it with javascript; at every request, server invalidates the token and generates a new one and sends it back to the client --&gt; prevent replay-attacks with a single token.


When the client receives an HTTP status *401 unauthorized* response from any REST Api, the angular controller clean all the cookies and redirect the user to the login page.

Should I have to consider other aspects? Is it better to store the token inside a new cookie or in localStorage? 
Any tips on how to generate a unique strong token?

**Edit (improvements):**

 - I decided to use HMAC-SHA256 as session token generator, with 20 minutes validity. I generate a random 32byte GUID, attach a timestamp and compute the HASH-SHA256 by providing a 40 bytes key. It&#39;s quite impossible to obtain collisions since the token validity is quite minimal.
 - Cookie will have [domain and path][3] attributes to increase security.
 - No multi-logins are permitted.

I am using bash to to POST to a website that requires that I be logged in first. So I need to send the request with login cookie. So I tried logging in and keeping the cookies, but it doesn&#39;t work because the site uses javascript to hash the password in a really weird fashion, so instead I&#39;m going to just take my login cookies for the site from Chrome.

How do I copy cookies from Chrome?

I am making an ajax request using $.ajax.  The response has the `Set-Cookie` header set (I&#39;ve verified this in the Chrome dev tools).  However, the browser does _not_ set the cookie after receiving the response!  When I navigate to another page within my domain, the cookie is not sent.  (Note: I&#39;m not doing any cross-domain ajax requests; the request is in the same domain as the document.)

What am I missing?

**EDIT**: Here is the code for my ajax request:


    $.post(&#39;/user/login&#39;, JSON.stringify(data));

Why is the browser not setting cookies after an AJAX request returns?

I am new with ```Express```. As ```Express 4.x``` has removed bundled middlewares.
Any middleware I want to use should be required. When I read the README with [express-session][1] and [cookie-session][2] on github, I feel it hard to understand the difference.

So I try to write simple code to figure it out. I run twice for each middleware.

    var express = require(&#39;express&#39;)
	  , cookieParser = require(&#39;cookie-parser&#39;)
	  , session = require(&#39;cookie-session&#39;)
	  , express_sess = require(&#39;express-session&#39;)
	  , app = express();

	app.use(cookieParser())
	app.use(session({ keys: [&#39;abc&#39;], name: &#39;user&#39; }));
	//app.use(express_sess({ secret: &#39;abc&#39;, key: &#39;user&#39;}));
	app.get(&#39;/&#39;, function (req, res, next) {
		res.end(JSON.stringify(req.cookies));
		console.log(req.session)
		console.log(req.cookies)
	});

	app.listen(3000);

For ```cookie-session```, I always get {} in my terminal.

For ```express-session```, I get things like this.

    req.session: { cookie: { 
         path: &#39;/&#39;,
         _expires: null,
         originalMaxAge: null,
         httpOnly: true 
       } 
    }

    req.cookie: {user: &#39;s:aJ97vKA5CCwxqdTj0AV1siRQ.fWusS5+qfCKICtwkfrzcZ/Gq8P0Qdx/kx8mTBhoOhGU&#39;}

It really confuses me. So how to explain the result with the basic use? And what&#39;s the difference between them? When should I use them?

What&#39;s difference with express-session and cookie-session?

Bob uses a web application in order to achieve something. And:

 - His browser is on diet, therefore it does not support **cookies**. 
 - The web application is a popular one, it deals with a lot of users at a given moment - it has to *scale* well. As long as keeping session would impose **a limit to the number of simultaneous connections**, and, of course, will bring a non-negligible **performance penalty**, we might like to have a session-less system :)

**Some important notes:** 

- we do have **transport security** (*HTTPS* and its best friends);
- behind the curtains, the web application delegates a lot of operations to **external services**, on current **user&#39;s behalf** (those systems do recognize Bob as one of their users) - this means that **we have to forward them Bob&#39;s credentials**.

Now, how do we authenticate Bob (on each and every request)?
Which would be a reasonable way to implement such a thing?

- playing *tennis* with the credentials via **HTML form hidden fields**... the *ball* contains the credentials (**username &amp; password**) and the *two rackets* are the browser and the web application respectively. In other words, we may transport data back and forth via form fields instead of via cookies. At each web request, the browser posts the credentials. Though, in the case of a **single-page application**, this may look like playing *squash* against a rubber wall, instead of playing *tennis*, as the *web form* containing the credentials might be kept alive the entire lifetime of the *web page* (and the server will be configured not to offer the credentials back).
- storing the username &amp; the password in the context of the page - JavaScript variables etc. Single-page required here, IMHO.
- encrypted token - based authentication. In this case, the log-in action would result in the generation of an encrypted security token (username + password + something else). This token would be served back to the client and the upcoming requests will be accompanied by the token. Does this make sense? We already have HTTPS...
- others...
- last resort: do not do this, store credentials in the session! Session is good. With or without cookies.

Does any web / security concern come into your mind, regarding any of the previously described ideas? For example,

 - *time-outing* - we may keep a **timestamp**, along with the credentials (time-stamp = the time Bob entered his credentials). E.g. when **NOW - timestamp &gt; threshold**, we might deny the request.
 - *Cross-site scripting* protection - should not be different in any way, right?

Thank you a lot for taking the time to reading this :)

How to do stateless (session-less) &amp; cookie-less authentication?

For a new node.js project I&#39;m working on, I&#39;m thinking about switching over from a cookie based session approach (by this, I mean, storing an id to a key-value store containing user sessions in a user&#39;s browser) to a token-based session approach (no key-value store) using JSON Web Tokens (jwt).

The project is a game that utilizes socket.io - having a token-based session would be useful in such a scenario where there will be multiple communication channels in a single session (web and socket.io)

How would one provide token/session invalidation from the server using the jwt Approach? 

I also wanted to understand what common (or uncommon) pitfalls/attacks I should look out for with this sort of paradigm. For example, if this paradigm is vulnerable to the same/different kinds of attacks as the session store/cookie-based approach.

So, say I have the following (adapted from [this][1] and [this][2]):

Session Store Login:

    app.get(&#39;/login&#39;, function(request, response) {
        var user = {username: request.body.username, password: request.body.password };
        // Validate somehow
        validate(user, function(isValid, profile) {
            // Create session token
            var token= createSessionToken();

            // Add to a key-value database
            KeyValueStore.add({token: {userid: profile.id, expiresInMinutes: 60}});

            // The client should save this session token in a cookie
            response.json({sessionToken: token});
        });
    }

Token-Based Login:

    var jwt = require(&#39;jsonwebtoken&#39;);
    app.get(&#39;/login&#39;, function(request, response) {
        var user = {username: request.body.username, password: request.body.password };
        // Validate somehow
        validate(user, function(isValid, profile) {
            var token = jwt.sign(profile, &#39;My Super Secret&#39;, {expiresInMinutes: 60});
            response.json({token: token});
        });
    }

A logout (or invalidate) for the Session Store approach would require an update to the KeyValueStore 
database with the specified token.

It seems like such a mechanism would not exist in the token-based approach since the token itself would contain the info that would normally exist in the key-value store.

Invalidating JSON Web Tokens

When using sessions, Flask requires a secret key. In every example I&#39;ve seen, the secret key is somehow generated and then stored either in source code or in configuration file.

What is the reason to store it permanently? Why not simply generate it when the application starts?

    app.secret_key = os.urandom(50)

Why not generate the secret key every time Flask starts?

I am working in an app where I need to keep some data during the user is logged in and I have that question, what is the difference among 
localStorage, sessionStorage, cookies ???

I was asking what can I use in order to persist some data in the DOM, even if the user refresh the page, some people says: use sessionStorage, or localStorage, then, someone came up with the idea of use [ngCookies](https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ngCookies/service/$cookies) because it works in every browser, but, which should I use ?

localStorage vs sessionStorage vs cookies

I recently created a new Laravel project and was following along the guide on Authentication. When I visit either my login or register route, I get the following error:

    ErrorException in Request.php line 775:
    Session store not set on request. (View: C:\Users\Matthew\Documents\test\resources\views\auth\register.blade.php)

I haven&#39;t edited any core Laravel files, I&#39;ve only created the views and added the routes to my routes.php file

    // Authentication routes
    Route::get(&#39;auth/login&#39;, [&#39;uses&#39; =&gt; &#39;Auth\AuthController@getLogin&#39;, &#39;as&#39; =&gt; &#39;login&#39;]);
    Route::post(&#39;auth/login&#39;, [&#39;uses&#39; =&gt; &#39;Auth\AuthController@postLogin&#39;, &#39;as&#39; =&gt; &#39;login&#39;]);
    Route::get(&#39;auth/logout&#39;, [&#39;uses&#39; =&gt; &#39;Auth\AuthController@getLogout&#39;, &#39;as&#39; =&gt; &#39;logout&#39;]);
    
    // Registration routes
    Route::get(&#39;auth/register&#39;, [&#39;uses&#39; =&gt; &#39;Auth\AuthController@getRegister&#39;, &#39;as&#39; =&gt; &#39;register&#39;]);
    Route::post(&#39;auth/register&#39;, [&#39;uses&#39; =&gt; &#39;Auth\AuthController@postRegister&#39;, &#39;as&#39; =&gt; &#39;login&#39;]);

I don&#39;t have much experience with Laravel, so please excuse my ignorance. I&#39;m aware that there is [another question][1] asking this same thing, but neither of the answers seem to work for me. Thanks for reading!


**Edit:**

Here&#39;s my register.blade.php as requested.

    @extends(&#39;partials.main&#39;)
    
    @section(&#39;title&#39;, &#39;Test | Register&#39;)
    
    @section(&#39;content&#39;)
        &lt;form method=&quot;POST&quot; action=&quot;/auth/register&quot;&gt;
            {!! csrf_field() !!}
            &lt;div class=&quot;ui input&quot;&gt;
              &lt;input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;name&quot; value=&quot;{{ old(&#39;name&#39;) }}&quot; placeholder=&quot;Username&quot;&gt;
            &lt;/div&gt;
            &lt;div class=&quot;ui input&quot;&gt;
              &lt;input type=&quot;email&quot; name=&quot;email&quot; value=&quot;{{ old(&#39;email&#39;) }}&quot; placeholder=&quot;Email&quot;&gt;
            &lt;/div&gt;
            &lt;div class=&quot;ui input&quot;&gt;
              &lt;input type=&quot;password&quot; name=&quot;password&quot; placeholder=&quot;Password&quot;&gt;
            &lt;/div&gt;
            &lt;div class=&quot;ui input&quot;&gt;
              &lt;input type=&quot;password&quot; name=&quot;password_confirmation&quot;placeholder=&quot;Confirm Password&quot;&gt;
            &lt;/div&gt;
            &lt;div&gt;
                &lt;button class=&quot;ui primary button&quot; type=&quot;submit&quot;&gt;Register&lt;/button&gt;
            &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/form&gt;
