[users@httpd] Apache not decoding %2f to / in URL
Hi
I've seen some topics regarding %2f ( URL encoded / ), but still having
problem after suggested solutions.
I have the following entry in httpd.conf (Apache v2.2)
<VirtualHost x.x.xx.xxx:80>
AcceptPathInfo On
AllowEncodedSlashes On
</VirtualHost>
and after passing an error page URL from httpd.conf, entry:
ErrorPage http://x.x.xx.xxx%2ferror.html (which should be encoded as
http://x.x.xx.xxx/error.html)
I get the follwing from all browsers e.g
Firefox can't find the server at x.x.xx.xxx%2ferror.html
Can someone please guide me in what I'm doing wrong and possible solution?
Thanks
N

Are you getting any requests actually sent to your apache server -
anything showing up in any of the logs?
As the error you are seeing is 'can't find server' rather than any page
not found or bad request error etc, I would guess that the problem is
the browsers are not recognizing that first %2f as the end of the domain
part of the url, so they used the whole thing as the domain - which of
course could not be found.
I would imagine you have to have http://x.x.xx.xxx/encoded%2furl%2fhere

I have to use "%2f" in URL and not "/". Idea is to configure apache in such
manner to recognise and encode "%2f" to "/".
Thx

Use an actual "/" where it's expected in the URL.
