Get a complete url like http://google.com as action input

Question

I want to get url in my action to return the page\'s PageRank. I have a route like this:

routes.MapRoute(
    name: \"PRURL\",
    url: \"Utility/PR/{*url}\",
           


        

Answer 1

Try to add a requestPathInvalidCharacters attribute to httpRuntime

<httpRuntime requestValidationMode="2.0" 
    requestPathInvalidCharacters="&lt;,&gt;,*,%,&amp;,\,?" />

The default value is <,>,*,%,&,:,\,?

Answer 2

You can disable automatic request verification.

In web.config:

<pages validateRequest="false">

Or for action:

[ValidateInput(false)]
public ActionResult PR(...

And I forget about web.config. You need to add to web.config:

<system.web>
  <httpRuntime requestValidationMode="2.0" />
</system.web>

Or you can encode/decode url
