I am trying to read a GET request url that has the query strings after a '#' (out of my control) e.g:
http://...onnect/endpoint/#var_name=var_value...
request.url does not show anything after endpoint/
The problem can be dealt with if the endpoint renders html then i use javascript to get the query string, but that is what I am avoiding - is there a way to get the query string from the request.url or other request.[parameter] ?
On the server you will never get the part that starts with #.
But on the client side you can get it with window.location.hash.
What you can do if this is in your control, is to extract it from client side then send it to the server in some other way
I was able to create a workaround (avoiding the need to create a Next.js page)
I created a redirect page using res.writeHead and res.write
res.writeHead(302, { 'Content-Type': 'text/html' })
res.write(`
<script>
const queryString = window.location.hash.replace('#', '')
window.location.href='http://...onnect/endpoint?'+ queryString
</script>
`)
res.end()
Please if you have anything better feel free to answer.
Thank you.
