500 error on request containing &

[bwmcbride]

The following

http://lr-pres-staging-b.epimorphics.net/def/ppi.html?_page=0&_sort=-topConceptOf.comment

gets a 500 error response.

Replace the & with a simple apersand and it works fine.

What generates that URL?

I have no idea how the request is generated.

I'm seeing 500 errors in the log files. The request is coming from an IP address I don't recognise.

Looks like then that there are two problems.

One is that /something/ is generating naff queries. We don't know what -- it could be a generated link on the html page, or it could be some other app misconstructing a URL. If it's our html page it would be nice to find and fix it.

The other is that should be a 400 error rather than a 500. Fixing that probably requires finding out exactly what the error 500 is. It's possible it has been fixed since .14 since we've rearranged error pages.

Any chance of a log with DEBUG entries in it?

I checked an Elda page that could have generated that link and its correct.

I just tried a similar request on a server with a later Elda and got a 400 error.

So I'll close this.
