[OAUGNet]-Discoverer: ASP URL Question for Discoverer Hyperlink

[Eric <ericthered732@yahoo.com>]

This may seem like an unusual question for this forum,
but I thought I'd ask anyway.  It's for a dynamic
hyperlink that we use in Discoverer and Portal to
provide a one-click URL to users to open a shipping
webpage via the Internet for an Oracle shipment record
whose tracking number (airway bill #) is stored in EBS
11i.  This dynamic tracking link works well for us
today in EBS 11i and Portal 10gR2 for shipments via
FedEx, UPS, and DHL as noted in my OAUG COL'06 white
paper.  But I'm having an issue with BAX Global due to
the ASP functionality of their tracking website.

Here's the issue:  We have a BAX Global shipment in
our Oracle 11i system with a tracking number
'BKK00086205' stored in the airway bill column.  I can
use that tracking number on BAX's website to track the
shipment; the tracking number is including in the
dynamic URL:

http://www.baxglobal.com/defaultFrm.asp?pg=%2FTracking%2F&s=ShipmentTracking&trackby=H&trackbyno=BKK00086205&x=4&y=12


If I paste this URL into a new browser session (IE or
Firefox), the website automatically gets diverted to
the shipping carrier's US home ASP page:

http://www.baxglobal.com/US.asp/

But if I then paste in the dynamic URL with tracking
number again from the US ASP home page, the browser
successfully goes to the tracking page for that
shipment.

Does anyone know how I can modify a dynamic URL to
skip the initial step of diverting to the ASP
website's homepage?

Best regards,

Eric
