Thanks Rogers,

it resolved the issue…silly mistake.. ops:

Correct url should be

http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/webscripts/search/searchSpace?spaceName=Alfresco%20WCM/Authoring&contentName=test.txt&alf_ticket=TICKET_55103467fa4b0994c756dc5ce2bc3b108673c9e2

Also i want to know how ticket mechanism works.How a ticket is mapped to a user?How it is maintained & for how long? What happens once it is expired?

What is its duration for valid ticket?How can i get/renew a ticket after it is expired?Do i need username & password or only using username can i get a valid ticket if that user has already been authenticated.

Further Is it applied only to web scripts or does alfresco use ticket mechanism for all users for all operations whether it is performed by explorer or web script or web service?
