From: ShaoHe Feng <shaohef(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com&gt; Most webs encode/decode url by base64 to escape the special characters. base64 encode/decode is similar to base64 safe url encode/decode. The difference is the alphabet. The base64 safe url alphabet uses '-' instead of '+' and '_' instead of '/'. after this patch: In backend, we can encode an url: >>> base64.urlsafe_b64encode("/vnc_auto.html?port=64667&path=?token=opensuse12&encrypt=1") 'L3ZuY19hdXRvLmh0bWw_cG9ydD02NDY2NyZwYXRoPT90b2tlbj1vcGVuc3VzZTEyJmVuY3J5cHQ9MQ==' and in UI, we can decode it: kimchi.urlSafeB64Decode("L3ZuY19hdXRvLmh0bWw_cG9ydD02NDY2NyZwYXRoPT90b2tlbj1vcGVuc3VzZTEyJmVuY3J5cHQ9MQ==") "/vnc_auto.html?port=64667&path=?token=opensuse12&encrypt=1" or In UI, we can encode an url: kimchi.urlSafeB64Encode("/vnc_auto.html?port=64667&path=?token=opensuse12&encrypt=1") "L3ZuY19hdXRvLmh0bWw_cG9ydD02NDY2NyZwYXRoPT90b2tlbj1vcGVuc3VzZTEyJmVuY3J5cHQ9MQ==" and in backend, we can decode it: >>> base64.urlsafe_b64decode("L3ZuY19hdXRvLmh0bWw_cG9ydD02NDY2NyZwYXRoPT90b2tlbj1vcGVuc3VzZTEyJmVuY3J5cHQ9MQ==") '/vnc_auto.html?port=64667&path=?token=opensuse12&encrypt=1' Signed-off-by: ShaoHe Feng <shaohef(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com&gt; --- ui/js/src/kimchi.utils.js | 8 ++++++++ 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+) diff --git a/ui/js/src/kimchi.utils.js b/ui/js/src/kimchi.utils.js index c7103f8..480b9b5 100644 --- a/ui/js/src/kimchi.utils.js +++ b/ui/js/src/kimchi.utils.js @@ -183,3 +183,11 @@ kimchi.escapeStr = function(str) { return str; }; + +kimchi.urlSafeB64Decode = function(str) { + return atob(str.replace(/-/g, '+').replace(/_/g, '/')); +} + +kimchi.urlSafeB64Encode = function(str) { + return btoa(str).replace(/\+/g, '-').replace(/\//g, '_'); +}
