get hash via url in nodejs

Question

i have to reset a password from a hash generated by bcrypt...

hash = $2a$11$Ro/Y5GnkI6v1DkewwZAcBeZY7Q2a9872NUGDuXXes4J5SWfEQGHvG

the problem is that hash have an slash... so in my router

app.get('/getHash/:hash',routes.getResetHash);

i get an 404 error! i think the problem is the slash between $Ro and Y5G in the hash because the hash try to search an url like this

app.get('/getHash/$2a$11$Ro/Y5GnkI6v1DkewwZAcBeZY7Q2a9872NUGDuXXes4J5SWfEQGHvG'.....

how can i stringify the hash... ???

You want to URL escape the hash. Javascript has two functions for this encodeURI and encodeURIComponent... you want the latter since you only want to encode a single part of it including the slashes:

uri_safe_hash = encodeURIComponent(hash)

Use encodeURIComponent to URI-escape special characters like /, &, and ?. In this case, your hash would be wrapped like so:

var hash = encodeURIComponent('$2a$11$Ro/Y...872NUGDuXXes4J5SWfEQGHvG');

On the server side, it should automatically re-convert the escaped parameters, but you will need to check.

You can do it this way:

app.get('/getHash/:hash1/:hash2', routes.getResetHash);

Then on routes.getResetHash you can join the hash1 and hash2 parameters:

routes.getResetHash = function(req, res){
  var hash = req.params.hash1 + '/' + req.params.hash2;
});
