Changing the URL Query

It is possible to use the HttpMessage Lua Class to get your target URL, with this class you are able to perform the following:

• Get the target URL

-- echo "http://target.com/?is_admin=true" | lotus urls script.lua -o out.json
local target_url = HttpMessage:Url()
-- http://target.com

• Getting all parameters in String

-- echo "http://target.com/?is_admin=true&year=2023" | lotus urls script.lua -o out.json
local params = HttpMessage:TxtParams()
-- "is_admin=true&year=2023"

• Get iterator with all url query

-- echo "http://target.com/?is_admin=true&year=2023" | lotus urls script.lua -o out.json
local iter_params = HttpMessage:Params()

for param_name, param_value in ipairs(iter_params) do 
    -- param_name: is_admin
    -- param_value: true
end

• Changing the value of custom Parameter

-- URL = https://target.com/users?name=Mike&age=20
local new_url = HttpMessage:setParam("age","23")
-- https://target.com/users?name=Mikehacker&age=2023

• Changing the value of all parameters

-- URL = https://target.com/users?name=Mike&age=20
local new_params = HttpMessage:setAllParams("<h1>",true) -- true = remove the parameter value
for param_name,param_value in ipairs(new_params) do 
    -- param_name: name
    -- param_value: <h1>
    -- continue ..
end

• Join URL Path for root path

make sure to make the global variable SCAN_TYPE value to 3 to make lotus pass the full path instead of parameters to avoid dups inputs

-- URL = https://target.com/users?name=Mike&age=20
local new_url = HttpMessage:urlJoin("/admin/login?login=true")
-- URL = https://target.com/admin/login?login=true

• Join URL Path for current path

-- make sure that your path doesn't starts with /
local new_url = pathjoin(HttpMessage:Path(),"admin/login.php")
-- http://target.com/index.php/admin.login.php
