URL as query segment

[eluser]BnoL[/eluser]
I got an idea. You can check if it works for you

Firstly, you have to define a route for your URL:

for example: http://localhost/get_thumbnail/{url_here}

so, if the request URL is: http://www.some-domain.com/index.php?ada...dasd=gvddf for example.

the URL to your site must be: http://localhost/get_thumbnail/http://www.some-domain.com/index.php?ada...dasd=gvddf

and now we'll get the request URL:

Code:

if($this->uri->segment(1) == "get_thumbnail") // if the 1st segment is "get_thumbnail"
        {
            $url = "";
            for($i=2;$i<=$this->uri->total_segments();$i++)
            {
                $url .= $this->uri->slash_segment($i,'leading');
            }
            
            $url = $url."?".$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
            
            if(strstr($url,"/http:/")) // rebuild for long URL, ex: http://www.some-domain.com
                echo str_replace('/http:/','http://',$url); // or return...
            elseif(strstr($url,"/www.")) // without "http://", ex: www.some-domain.com
                echo "http://".str_replace('/www.','www.',$url); // or return...
        }

I've tested, and it works fine for me

There are might be better solutions =]. Storm your brain!
