Domino URL Commands

A user's access over the Internet to resources on a Domino server is based on the URL. Therefore, understanding the Domino URL syntax is important.

Though Domino can interpret standard URLs, such as:

http://www.mycompany.com/index.html

Domino URL commands can also have the following syntax:

http://host/database.nsf/Domino_object?Action_Argument

• host

  Indicates the DNS entry or IP address of the server.

• database

  Specifies the database file name with the path relative to notes \data directory or the database Replica ID.

• Domino_object

  Specifies the object in the database, for example, a view, document, form, or navigator.

• Action

  Identifies the operation performed on the Notes object. For example: ?OpenDatabase, ?OpenView, ?OpenDocument, ?OpenForm, ?ReadForm, ?EditDocument. If there is no action specified in the URL, the default is used.

  Default: ?Open.

• Argument

  Provides further definition of how an object is delivered by the Domino server. For example, if the action and argument is ?OpenView&Expand=5, this argument specifies the number of rows in a view to be shown in an expanded format.

  The following is an example of a URL to access a view in a Notes database called financials.nsf:

  http://www.anysite.com/financials.nsf/reports?OpenView
