Auto-Login & NextURL Help

[KBusaidi]

Hello,

I am using the below URL that has the search API of which returns documents in LL. However this requires a login everytime the broswer is closed. I have been following the forum for a solution but have not yet got anything to work. Does anybody know how to resolve this in particular with the Search API and not XMLExport. The nextURL statement gets ignored.

Here is the URL:

http://server/livelink/livelink.exe...ere1=OTLocation:(4111095)+AND+OTSubType:(144)

Error that I get.

Livelink Error:

[You have either not specified any search criterion at all, or one of your Livelink Query Language statements is incorrect. Edit the query by clicking an option in at least one list and/or correcting the statements that appear in the fields. ]


All help is highly appreciated.
Cheers
Busaidi

If you compare the string you have, you will notice that the nextURL component is escaped, try that and let us know how you get on.

In OT knowledge base look for a post by John Shoun who has an utility for creating an auto login.All he does is as greg say take the first part make it into a login request and then pad the next URL with hexadecimal equivalents of
"=" "&".This should work but everybody is seeing your guest login.

Well, if I called the wrong number, why did you answer the phone?

Guys,

Thanks for all your help. The article from John Shoun and the post from appnair had the solution. You do indeed need to convert the escape characters to hexidecimals.

Cheers
