 Posted: Mon 03 Jun '13 15:37 Post subject: Access Forbidden if url contains special characters |
 |
|
Hello Masters,
We have many intranet document what linked on our intranet site. We use "apache builed in" directory listing to handle documents on browser, and make accessable to users. Because this not so user friendly we try to use a template (h5ai- http://larsjung.de/h5ai/) for mod_autoindex.
Unfortunatelly if file or folder name contains special characters (like é,á,ű,ő,ú,ü,ö,ó) than get Access Forbidden - Error 403. If change the folder name, than its ok.
I use xampp.
Any suggestion apperitiated, how to solve this.
Thank you.

| The online demo contains <meta charset="utf-8">. It might be worth a try to change that to <meta charset="windows-1252">. |

Yes, it contains that meta tag, but that file is independent, i think...
I edited DirectoryIndex and uploaded files to root of my server. So now every directory which not contain any index file, shown like this..
But tomorrow i will try to change the meta, and the config file, which is containt utf-8 coding too. |

| In error log nothing usable. No mod security. Something happen after implement the h5ai template. If i remove it, than url ok. So i think something wrong in the h5ai source, just don't undersand what. |

If it is generated by an external script you have to make sure that the special charakter like ö ä ü etc are url encoded. You can see that by examinate your access log. For example ö needs to be %c3%b6 in the url.
| Code: |
<a href="%c3%b6%c3%b6%c3%b6/">ööö/</a>
or
<A HREF="%F6%F6%F6/">ööö</A>
|
Also you have to make sure that the javascripts and the pages have the same encoding. So the javascript files also need to be saved in UTF-8. However even than javascript often has troubles with UTf-8 and the url encoded stuff is better. |

I checked the JS files and encoded in UTF-8.
I installed wamp server too. Made a new directory in the root:
"Árvíztűrő tükörfúrógép"
And this is how its look like in browser:"%C1rv%EDzt%FBr%F5%20T%FCk%F6rf%FAr%F3g%E9p/"
And after i click on link get Forbidden error.
If i remove H5Ai than works fine, and handle the directory.
May i ask you to download the H5Ai and check what should be?
Thank you |
