Speaking of encoding/decoding, is there a trick when using relocate to prevent a query string from being encoded (or decoded, at this point words no longer have meaning to me 🥴 ) After logging a user in, I’m trying to relocate them back to the exact spot they left off, something like

heroes?ids=1,2,3

but no matter what I try I end up at

heroes?ids=1%252C2%252C3

What's wrong with the URL encoded commas?

Yep. Every time you fresh the page, it’s add more and more “stuff”. This is my current attempt, but I’ve also tried `encodeURICompoment`:

var customEncodedUrl = window.location.search.replace(
						/\&/g,
						'%26'
					);

you'd need to back up and explain how you're redirecting the user

Fair enough, I’m pretty scattered at the moment, let me see if I can put together a more coherent example.

Also, have you seen this module https://www.forgebox.io/view/redirectBack

Awesome, I’ll look at that as well.

Possibly of note here - Lucee automatically encodes urls when using cflocation: https://luceeserver.atlassian.net/browse/LDEV-2164

rubber duck

Index.js
---------
...
let fakeUri = encodeURIComponent(`?this=1,2,3&that=4,5,6`);

Inertia.get(`/login?_lastUrl=/orders&_lastQryStr=${fakeUri}`);
...

Moves over the login process in our

Auth.cfc

At this point, if I interupt the process and do a writeDump of

_lastQryString

, it appears decoded (👍). However, if I let it keep going…

Auth.cfc
---------
...
relocate(
    url         = rc._lastUrl,
    queryString = rc._lastQryStr
);
...

I end up back where I started (👍) but the query string is now encoded (👎 ) 🤔 • I read up on the cflocation issue, but seeing as we’re using coldbox

relocate()

I’m sure it that situation applies. • I also tried

redirectBack()

but that only got me back to

/orders

without any query string; maybe I just need to play around with it some more.

@mburt the rediectback() doesn't use a query string. It uses flash ram. Dump out the

rc

to see what's in it

That fair. Thanks for taking a look. I’ll keep at it.
