Program inputs

The query_contents program is called with an HTTP GET request with the following syntax:

<URL>?dirlist=<resource root>

where <URL> is the location of the query_contents program and <resource root> is the root of the object space that should be searched.

The GET request is accompanied by an HTTP cookie with the name X_QUERY_CONTENTS_URIENCODED. This cookie contains a yes or no value to indicate Whether the path is URI-encoded. The following sample is an example of a GET request that WebSEAL might send to a query_contents program:

GET /appserver/cgi-bin/custom_query_contents.exe?dirlist=/directory
Cookie: X_QUERY_CONTENTS_URIENCODED=no
