Archived from groups: microsoft>public>inetserver>iis (more info?)
Hi,

I'm getting a 400 - Bad request (invalid URL) error with IIS6 / Windows 2003
when executing the following URL:

/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fxxxxxxxx!2fbase!2frol
es!2fstandard_user!2ftp.orbis.standard_user!2ftp.orbis.structure!2fpersonal!
2fmy_ff!2ftp.orbis.my_ff!2ftp.orbis.my_folders/~alias~/userhome/<user.id>/My
FilesAndFolders

The request is passed through a ISAPI plugin to a Java servet engine.
When accessing the URL directly on the servlet engine everything works fine.

When using Wfetch from the IIS 6 ressource kit the following output is
generated (hostname replaced with xxxxxxxx):

#####################################

WWWConnect::Connect("xxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.com","80")\n

WWWConnect::Close("xxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.com","80")\n

finished.
#############################################


Does anybody know why this request is rejected or how I can find out ?

Thank you,
Jochen<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

If I get it right the "greater than" and "smaller than" signs seem to be the
problem.
How can I tell IIS to accept these special characters ?

Registry setting "AllowRestrictedChars=1" doesn't seem to do the trick.

Did you restart the HTTP Service (NET STOP /y HTTP) after making the
registry change. It is necessary for the registry change to take effect.

"<" and ">" are not defined as acceptable characters in a URI according to
public RFCs. You are thus depending on unspecified behavior that may not be
preserved. You should consider either:
1. Only use acceptable characters in URI
2. Move the unacceptable characters out of the URI (into the querystring or
request header, for example)
