Getting rid about &sid= in urls ?

[Mirny]

Hi,
yet another possible solution is the filter by chAlx named "Delete forum IDs from links [ALX]" original topic (in russian).

It's pretty smart at parsing query strings and deleting unwanted params, such as "sid" , "phpsessid" etc. whatever you want, based on list.

More to it, if the query string happens to contain several params that you don't want to be there, the filter deletes them all at once. If you want to get rid of param with some particular value(s) just specify it in SIDList.txt. Also it keeps track of issues such as whether removed param was the last one in the query string, if so then removes trailing "?"


here it is:

Code:

[Patterns]
Name = "Delete forum IDs from links [ALX]"
Active = TRUE
Multi = TRUE
URL = ""
Bounds = "$NEST(<(a|base|form|link|embed)\s,>)"
Limit = 512
Match = "(*(\s (src|href|action)=))\0 $AVQ("
        "  ([^?#]+)\1"
        "  (\?)"
        "  ("
        "    (\&amp;|\&|;|) [^&;\'\"#]+ &&"
        "    ("
        "      (\&amp;|\&|;|) $LST(SIDList) (^?) $SET(5=1) |"
        "      ( $TST((\2)=?) | (\&amp;|\&|;|(^$TST((\5)=1))) ) \# $SET(2=?)"
        "    )"
        "  )+"
        "  $TST((\5)=1)"
        "  \8"
        ")"
        "\9"
Replace = "\r\n <ins by=delete_forum_ids></ins> \r\n \0\1\2\@\8\9 \r\n"

content of my SIDList.txt (for the sake of example):

Code:
