URL exaplanation of Content Server Requests

When a content server web page is requested, all of the necessary information can be sent to the content server through the URL. The following is a typical content server URL; in this case, it is the URL for the Home page:

http://192.168.21.223/idc/idcplg?IdcService=GET_DOC_PAGE&Action=GetTemplatePage&Page=HOME_PAGE&Auth=Internet

* http://192.168.21.223 and instancename is the web address of the content server instance.
* idcplg is the path to the web server filter.
* IdcService=GET_DOC_PAGE tells the content server to execute the GET_DOC_PAGE service.
* Action=GetTemplatePage tells the content server to return the results using a specified template page.
* Page=HOME_PAGE tells the content server which template page to use.
* The question mark (?) indicates the end of the web server path and the beginning of content server instructions.
* Ampersands (&) are used as separators between content server instructions.
* Auth=Internet explains it is authenticated through browser
