[users@httpd] Convert "#" to Ascii "%23"
Need to convert "#" to "%23" when a # is in the URL path.
Example> http://server.net/cgi-bin/application/app_1.pl?en=PROJECT_Name&pkn=20080526+-+Defect+#123456
This example shows in the http URL address just fine but beacuse of
the "#" is the first character in the defect sub-folder name the
actual page is not found because everything at the "#" is dropped.
How can I configure Apache to change the "#" in a path to its ascii
equivalent ( %23 ) ?
If I manually change it in the URL address line the page is displayed
just fine showing the folder content.
Example2> http://server.net/cgi-bin/application/app_1.pl?en=PROJECT_Name&pkn=20080526+-+Defect+%23123456
please advise
Phil

It is the first character in a directory/folder name
i.e /defect
/#123456/details_1.txt
/#234561/details_1.txt

"#" has a special meaning in URLs. Only a broken HTTP

Great. Then you just need to fix the perl script to do proper URL escaping.

So then the URL should be properly formatted by that script, if the
URL contains a special character, your script has the responsibility
of escaping it.

[users@httpd] mod_status woes
Posted by Aaron Wallis <d2...@gmail.com>.
Hey there,
I've been using mod_status to keep an eye on several of my servers
traffic spikes for the past few months now, great stuff, loving it sick.
Since I've got a fair few servers to watch I was hoping to automate
the process and for some crazy reason, the "autp" status pages on my
servers aren't returning a valid status code in the header so the
app's i've been developing can't detect whether the site is up or
not....
i.e. (look at the response headers) http://www.viewmark.net.au/server-status?auto
vs. http://www.apache.org/server-status?auto
I've scoured the web for any background, but alas... no cigar...
Has anyone encountered this before?
my httpd.conf additions look like this:
<Location /server-status>
SetHandler server-status
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Location>
with extended status turned on.

The point is, the # and following stuff never make it to the server;
they are eaten by the client.
To fix the problem, you need to look at where that URL is being
generated, and fix the generator to properly escape the #. It can't be
fixed once it has been sent to the client.

Would it by any chance be a browser problem?. Since a # is a reference
to a part of the page, a browser should not send stuff after the # to
the server. But I have no idea how a # in a query string should be
handled. Are you sure that it is the server which is dropping stuff
after the # and not the browser itself?
