How to extract relative URL from argument values from request string?



I have a request url / string var like http://ip_or_url:4773/image_renderer.service?action=resize&from_format=png&from_url=http://ip_or_url:4773/my_file.user.file&to_format=jpg&w=1920&h=1200 It looks terribly scary. I wonder how to extract from_url=http://195.19.243.13:4773/my_file.user.file argument pair from it and then extract relative file url from that pair value my_file.user.file ?

  1. With pure javascript. It'll return an array of key/value pairs.

    function getUrlParts(url){
    // url contains your data.
    var qs = url.indexOf("?");
    if(qs==-1) return [];
    var fr = url.indexOf("#");
    var q="";
    q = (fr==-1)? url.substr(qs+1) : url.substr(qs+1, fr-qs-1);
    var parts=q.split("&");
    var vars={};
    for(var i=0;i<parts.length; i++){
    var p = parts[i].split("=");
    vars[unescape(p[0])]= p[1] ? unescape(p[1]):"";
    }
    // vars contain all the variables in an array.
    return vars;
    }


    Let me know if any of your test cases fails.

  2. When the url is in the varaible sUrl:

    var sFromUrl = sUrl.match(/from_url=[^&]*/)[0];
    var sBasename = sFromUrl.match(/[^\/]*$/)[0];


    Also see this example.

  3. Use this to get your url variables in JS

    function getUrlVars()
    {
    var vars = [], hash;
    var hashes = window.location.href.slice(window.location.href.indexOf('?') + 1).split('&');

    for(var i = 0; i < hashes.length; i++)
    {
    hash = hashes[i].split('=');
    vars.push(hash[0]);
    vars[hash[0]] = hash[1];
    }

    return vars;
    }


    and then string.substring(string.search("/")) to get your piece of string

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
