Passing variables to JavaScript inside a URL? -

I am working with a web service that allows the video file (host).

Any way, they provide a Guid which is used in an embed code (link to JS file) is.

Script.js parses this URL and retrieves the variable. Can anyone make a clue about how this is done?

What kind of script runs on server-side to answer these requests? After all, the string in the URL does not really refer to a real directory, or is it?

Any help / insight will be appreciated.

They rewrite the URL most likely and pass that ID to a script By generating javascript - I should embed any video-specific data in javascript. A Javascript file does not have the knowledge of the URL, where it resides, only the window's URL or the frame where it is being loaded.

  foo.com/$1/script.js - & gt; Foo.com/gen_script?id=$1  

Where foo.com/gen_script?id=$1 is a script that actually generates that file.

If they use something like mod_rewrite, then you will find something similar to the following in your config file:

  RewriteRule ^ (. *) / Script \ .js $ Http: // foo. Com / gen_script? Id = $ 1
