how to convert url with query string to url without query string

[nick]

Hi All,

I would appreciate any help in converting an url with query string
(http://mywebsite/cgi-bin/web_case_mgt.exe?
CASE_KEY=00000000630520110213&STYPE=DISPLAY) to one that does not
contain any parameters (http://mywebsite/cgi-bin/web_case_mgt.exe). My
application is a cgi application with the server side generating
dynamic html pages (using C++). On the server side I am replacing the
current web page (web_new_case.exe) with a new one by generating the
following JavaScript code:
<form>
<Script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
location.replace("web_case_mgt.exe?CASE_ID=12343&STYPE=DISPLAY");
</script>
</form>

NOTE: web_new_case.exe and web_case_mgt.exe are programs running in
the background and listening to a socket.

Question: What Javascript code should I use to achieve the desired
effect?

Markup.

<form>

Why a form?

<Script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

Start tag doesn't match the end and the language attribute is
deprecated.

location.replace("web_case_mgt.exe?CASE_ID=12343&STYPE=DISPLAY");
</script>
</form>

And why wouldn't you redirect with a location header? Your approach
will fail if scripting is disabled (among other ways).

Noted.

But I think you should be doing this server side.
