OMG I HAVE BEEN WANTING TO LOOK FOR THIS THRAD SINCE FOREVER.

I has an question: Google dot com's address is no longer just google dot com. Now it adds ?gws_rd=ssl after the dot com. I figured some enterprising and knowledgeable, smrt person might know.

I do know, but I'm not gonna tell you. :shiftier:

(It's internal cgi bullshit and I'm kind of embarrassed that you can see it. In php you can make parameters invisible* but I don't know if you can in cgi, on account of I never learned cgi cuz I feel like it probably sucks.)

* "invisible" is a terrible name, because the parameters and values can be found easily in the clear with a packet sniffer or some tool like that. So the invisible should be only used to make the url look neat and pretty to the user (unlike your current situation) but developers get confused by the "invisible" and try to use it to pass sensitive information, which, just don't. :sadno:

the "php parameter" part of the URI scheme is not specific to php.

Not basic perhaps, but what do I know?

This is a link to a disturbing story about Israeli state terrorism at Electronic Intifada:

Israel kills child in West Bank | The Electronic Intifada

It came to me via farcebook, where it renders as a photo with a title and a caption:

Screen Shot 2020-05-14 at 18.44.18.png

I guess that fb picks up these extras by querying electronicintifada via the link in some way. Can I do that using html?

This is a particularly interesting case because the caption carries misinfo that has been corrected on the actual page. It's clear that the journos at EI know how to update the web page but have forgotten (or don't know how) to update the hidden attribute containing the text that becomes the caption.
