[11:59:52 EST(-0500)] <mrpeachum> @EricDalquist... erik olsson here...
[12:00:01 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> hello
[12:00:02 EST(-0500)] <mrpeachum> question for you about webproxy plt
[12:00:05 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ok
[12:00:28 EST(-0500)] <mrpeachum> can it append user attributes to the end of the url it's request like cwebproxy?
[12:00:35 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yes
[12:00:39 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so anything you enter
[12:00:44 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> in any of the config items
[12:00:54 EST(-0500)]

[12:01:00 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and it will replace that with the corresponding attribute
[12:01:01 EST(-0500)] <mrpeachum> ah beautiful
[12:01:09 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> you of course need to have them mapped in the portlet.xml file
[12:01:23 EST(-0500)] <mrpeachum> sure... gotcha
[12:01:23 EST(-0500)] <athena> that's awesome
[12:01:28 EST(-0500)] <athena> i don't think i knew it did that
[12:01:45 EST(-0500)] <mrpeachum> so much easier than cwebproxy... which doesnt even do it correctly
[12:01:55 EST(-0500)] <mrpeachum> it fails to append the atts beyond the initial request
[12:01:56 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah, not a very well documented portlet right now :/
[12:02:00 EST(-0500)] <athena> it'll be really nice when we can just delete cwebproxy
[12:02:10 EST(-0500)] <athena> and even better when we can configure the portlet via config mode
[12:02:10 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I'm trying to spend some time getting it cleaned up
[12:02:16 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so that we can use it as the default in 3.2
[12:02:20 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[12:02:22 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> that will be a big help
[12:02:26 EST(-0500)] <mrpeachum> cool... some sample configs would be really helpful
[12:02:32 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> it was never intended for direct configuration via preferences
[12:04:54 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah, I'll see if we can post some of our .channel files
[12:06:21 EST(-0500)] <mrpeachum> awesome thanks eric
[12:07:20 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> where are people currently looking for docs on how to configure it?
[12:07:39 EST(-0500)] <mrpeachum> i was looking here: http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/PLT/WebProxy+Portlet+Installation+and+Configuration
[12:07:58 EST(-0500)] <mrpeachum> top google result
[12:08:07 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ok
[12:08:12 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> good to know
