The message url will be inserted ft. URL shortening services on your domain. Passive mixed content


I think many of you have encountered such a concept as a “URL address,” but not everyone knows at least something about this address. Why is this address needed, what is it, and so on. Therefore, it would be worth explaining to the user and answering questions on the topic of “URL Addresses”. What is a URL, what is its structure and where are they used.

If you are an active user of Internet resources, then you have used the URL address. It's not that complicated.

1. General

A URL is a special and individual address for various Internet resources. A “resource” refers to a website, document, or image found on the Internet.

Let's return directly to the topic of our conversation - URL Addresses. In general, this is the same address where you can find the resource described above. For example, to display the legal name of an Internet page, you need to display its source file, code.
To put it even more simply, the URL will tell the user on which “shelf” his “T-shirt” is located.

Also a legal entity with documents and images. These files need to be somewhere, on some server. The URL just shows the address of the server on which the information is stored.

URL stands for - Universal Resource Locator, from which we can understand that this is a universal pointer to the location of the resource, that is, a pointer to the address of the server where the desired resource or information is located.

The path from the end server to the PC can be represented in the simple diagram shown below. At the top is the server, where the resource we need is located, and below is the user’s computer.

There are additional servers between the End Server and the user.

2. URL structure

The URL is also structured and looks like this:
- Method – a method of accessing the necessary information (resource), or a network protocol;
- Authorization – something similar to a login and password on social networks, but for access to resources;
- Hosts are a special DNS address that can be written as an IP address;
- Port – cannot be used without IP and vice versa;
- Path – information about how access to the information (resource) was obtained is also determined by the network protocol;
- Parameter – special page parameters responsible for the files specified inside the resource.

3. How to find out the URL Address

It happens that users do not know how to find out URL Address. Of course, if you need a legal address for a site, then the best and easiest way is to view and copy it directly from the address bar.


Copying is done in the usual way. Using a keyboard shortcut CTRL+C, or by right-clicking on the site and selecting the appropriate item.

As mentioned above, the URL address exists not only for sites, but also for files and images separately.

In order to find out their URL, you need to click on the file or picture, and again right-click on it, select another item “Copy URL Pictures”, or “image address”, depending on the browser you are using


If you need the address of a document, then again you can do the same - right-click, then select “Copy link address” in the drop-down window; it is called the same in all browsers.


After copying, you need links - it is moved to the clipboard, and you can paste it into a new address bar, or transfer it to a text document, dialogue on a social network, instant messenger, etc.

4. URL Encryption

Where to get the URL of the Resources is already clear. But when copying some sources with a Russian name in the address, when copied into the browser it is converted into something like website/ %D0%A1%D0%BC%D0%B0%D1%80%D1%82%D1%84%D0% BE%D0%B.

This happens only because URLs can be written in a certain set of characters. And, as in our case, the Cyrillic alphabet is not the case. Therefore, an address that contains Cyrillic or other inaccessible characters is encrypted in this way - it’s not scary.

5. URL History

A URL address, like any other resource, detail, etc., has its own history. Although it is clear that such a legal address is needed precisely in order to indicate the final server with the data, I would like to delve into it.

The URL was first developed in Geneva. Tim Berners-Lee is its direct inventor. The “birth” of URL happened in 1990.

At first, such addresses were used only to indicate the location of certain files on the Internet, but later experts found out that they can also be used to designate and direct the user to other types of resources on the Internet.

The URL has been replaced by a URI. In a networking textbook, this construction represented the usual definition of a resource.
The URL includes the name of the site and its location.
URN is only the address of a site, or resource, or only its name.


The completion of development is considered to be 1994. But already in 1998, a new version of URI was released, in 2002, companies were informed that URL as a term should no longer be used and should be replaced by URI.
From which we understand that this method of finding and naming a file on the Internet began in Geneva.

To conveniently create a project for promoting a large number of queries (this is mainly needed for low-frequency queries), we have added the ability to add URLs in batches using keywords.

To set up such a project you need to complete 4 steps.

STEP 1:

To do this, on the adding keywords page you need to enter:

  1. Domain- indicate the domain of the site being promoted.
  2. Requests- a list of keywords written in a column that will be used to select relevant pages on the promoted site (no more than 200).
  3. Search in- it is necessary to indicate in which search engines the selection of relevant pages for these keywords will be made.

STEP2:

Next you will see the result of the work. You will be shown a table with queries and selected pages:

4. choose Yandex, where possible- selects, wherever possible, the promoted URL found in Yandex.

5. choose Google where possible- selects, wherever possible, the promoted URL found on Google.

6. Request- keywords by which relevant pages were selected.

7. Suggested URLs- the most relevant URLs taken from the relevant search engines for a given keyword.

8. Suggested page selection button- selects the corresponding URL as promoted for the current request.

9. Selected URL- the selected URL for promotion on request is displayed here.

You can select one or another selection result for each keyword. By finally selecting the required keywords and clicking “save”, you will determine the number of promoted queries and pages for your project and proceed to compiling texts.

STEP3:

Compilation of texts. Here you will be asked to use the batch tool for composing texts, and you can operate with the parameter keyword, which for each URL will turn into the keyword selected in step 2 and specific to a specific URL:

10. Field for entering link texts- Here you can enter no more than 5000 link texts, starting each on a new line.

roller Skates

ski poles

knitted hats

In step 2, pages were selected for these requests:

site.ru/page1.html

site.ru/page2.html

site.ru/page3.html

At step 3 in composing texts you specified the following templates:

#a#keyword#/a#

#a#buy keyword#/a#

sale of #a#keyword#/a# in the sporting goods store "Sporting Goods"

Promotion. #a#keyword inexpensive#/a# in our store

#a#roller skates#/ a#

# a# buy roller skates #/ a#

sale # a# roller skates #/ a# in the sports store "Sporting Goods"

Promotion. # a# roller skates inexpensive# /a# in our store

This way you can quickly and efficiently create anchors for typical low-frequency queries.

  • Include a fairly broad filter in the group auto mode, for which there are many results in the search. If you set a narrow filter, then some of the URLs will remain without links.
  • Set daily quotas for filters. If you are promoting low-frequency queries, then it is quite appropriate to include the purchase of 1-2 links in your daily quota.
  • Estimate approximately how many links you will get. For example, you added 100 keywords (that is, 100 URLs) and assigned 2 filters to each URL, for example, one buy only 10 links, the other 5 links. The daily quota was set in both filters to 1 link per day. Thus, in this example, 1500 links will be bought in 10 days. This may be too fast, so pay attention to the Start auto mode every days! By putting, for example, the parameter “3” in this field, you will extend the purchase over 30 days, which will allow you to make the purchase of links uniform and natural.

Save all settings. The project has been created!

What we will do: we will set up sending messages on behalf of a specific user to several chats and other users using an HTTP request using PHP, with minimal effort.

Actually, we will not limit ourselves to messages alone. Everything will work through the standalone vk application on the principle that we will potentially be able to do all the actions that will be available to this very user (more precisely, everything that we will give ourselves the rights to, but more on that a little later).

We consider messages precisely for the reason that they can only be worked with in standalone applications.

Action plan:
1. Create an application
2. We get access_token
3. send messages

1. Create an application

Do this item under the account to which the application will be linked (Not necessarily the same one from which messages will be sent).

Name We write whatever we want - it will not appear anywhere.
Type- Standalone application.

You don't have to touch anything else here.

2. Using ID and secret_key from the application we get access_token

access_token- a string of a certain number of characters that will be sent with a POST request to perform some functions. Actually, it is tied to it on behalf of which user we will act and what we will be able to do.

To do this, create a page on the website with the following code:
&display=page&redirect_uri=https://oauth.vk.com/blank.html&scope=&response_type=token&v=5.37">Push the button
$client_id- actually, the ID of our application from point 1.

$scope- a list of rights that we can do on behalf of our user. Concretely, this is exactly what is suitable for our task: the ability to access at any time (offline), and access to messages. If you need more, a complete list. You can set either a bit mask or list the names.

Besides the point access to general information, all other items will correspond to the list of permissions that were passed to scope. Click next and see the following:

The acces_token is highlighted in red, for which the entire second paragraph was written.

3. Using HTTP requests, passing parameters via POST, we send messages or use any other API methods

For the impatient, you can check that everything is working like this:

Replace the zeros at the end with ours acces_token and follow this link in the browser.
https://api.vk.com/method/messages.send?user_id=6269901&message=habrahabr&v=5.37&access_token=000000
What will happen:
Message with text from parameter message will be sent to the user with the specified user_id. (If you leave it as is, it will come to me. I won’t be offended).

Recipient parameters:
  • user_id- recipient user id
  • domain- instead of user_id, you can specify the name of the recipient’s page (what is in the url after vk.com)
  • chat_id- the message will go to the chat. To take the chat id, go to the desired chat, the url will look like vk.com/im?peers=000000&sel=c888. Our chat_id will be 888 (! not c888)

Sometimes update.url and other URL system errors can be related to problems in the Windows registry. Several programs can use the update.url file, but when those programs are uninstalled or modified, sometimes "orphaned" (incorrect) URL registry entries are left behind.

Basically, this means that while the actual path of the file may have changed, its incorrect former location is still recorded in the Windows Registry. When Windows tries to look up these incorrect file references (file locations on your computer), update.url errors can occur. Additionally, a malware infection may have corrupted registry entries associated with Microsoft Windows. So, these corrupted URL registry entries need to be fixed to fix the problem at the root.

Manually editing the Windows registry to remove invalid update.url keys is not recommended unless you are PC service professional. Mistakes made when editing the registry can render your PC inoperable and cause irreparable damage to your operating system. In fact, even one comma placed in the wrong place can prevent your computer from booting!

Because of this risk, we highly recommend using a trusted registry cleaner such as WinThruster (Developed by Microsoft Gold Certified Partner) to scan and repair any update.url-related registry problems. Using a registry cleaner, you can automate the process of finding corrupted registry entries, missing file references (such as the one causing the update.url error), and broken links within the registry. Before each scan, a backup copy is automatically created, allowing you to undo any changes with one click and protecting you from possible damage to your computer. The best part is that eliminating registry errors can dramatically improve system speed and performance.


Warning: Unless you are an experienced PC user, we DO NOT recommend manually editing the Windows Registry. Using Registry Editor incorrectly may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall Windows. We do not guarantee that problems resulting from incorrect use of Registry Editor can be corrected. You use Registry Editor at your own risk.

Before you manually repair the Windows registry, you need to create a backup by exporting a portion of the registry associated with update.url (for example, Microsoft Windows):

  1. Click on the button Begin.
  2. Enter " command" V search bar... DON'T CLICK YET ENTER!
  3. While holding down the keys CTRL-Shift on your keyboard, press ENTER.
  4. A dialog box for access will be displayed.
  5. Click Yes.
  6. The black box opens with a blinking cursor.
  7. Enter " regedit" and press ENTER.
  8. In the Registry Editor, select the update.url-related key (eg. Microsoft Windows) you want to back up.
  9. On the menu File select Export.
  10. On the list Save to select the folder where you want to save the Microsoft Windows key backup.
  11. In field File name Enter a name for the backup file, such as "Microsoft Windows Backup".
  12. Make sure the field Export range value selected Selected branch.
  13. Click Save.
  14. The file will be saved with extension .reg.
  15. You now have a backup of your update.url-related registry entry.

The following steps for manually editing the registry will not be described in this article, as they are likely to damage your system. If you would like more information about editing the registry manually, please check out the links below.
