Why domino insert "!" in long url?

I’m developing web application. I use auto login with url?login, &userName, &password, &redirectto and https web security protocol → generates url address usually between 220 - 270 chars length.

All works perfectly, until I send login reference to user email. Domino insert ( after 127 ) char “!” into the reference.

Does anybody know how to solve this? Please help me. Thanks a lot

Subject: ! is a replacement for ?, and can be configured in the Domino defs

The reason is that search bots exclude all information past the &-characters as CGI-parameters

Subject: Thanks, but can you specify a little more

In url there are both “?” and “!”.

I’d like to configure domino defs, but don’t know where. Please could you specify a little more

Subject: RE: Thanks, but can you specify a little more

Which character to use in a query string is configurable at the server. Read Domino Admin. help for more. “!” is generally deemed more “bot-friendly” for search engines and other spiders, whilst “?” is the default.

Subject: Thanks, but still nothing

Thanks, but i haven’t found any solution yet and I tried (really) to search domino admin help etc.

I make some tests … I specify again in simplified form what I Do:

I create document with url?CreateDocument. Then in WebQuerySave run agent, which sends link to login - e.g. something like this - url?login&userName=Bill&password=gates&redirectto= … this link is more than 200 chars length. In this link is always char “!” (e.g. - …&password=12345!55678&redirectto=…). If I do the same with url?SaveDoc the link is WITHOUT “!” and is correct.

I thing this is not server setting fault. It’s seems like a domino bug. But if it is really in domino settings, could you PLEASE specify exactly where i can repair it.

Thanks a lot
