URL-decoding on Apache 1.1.1

URL-decoding on Apache 1.1.1

Post by Milos Cekovi » Fri, 29 Nov 1996 04:00:00



Hi,

In one of my HTML-pages I got following tag:

<FORM ACTION=3D"/cgi-bin/owi/A/R0=3D%2Fdict%2F&QS=3DUBSDict" METHOD=3D"PO=
ST">

  ( %2F means / )

"owi" is a script that gets "A/R0=3D%2Fdict%2F&QS=3DUBSDict".

The CERN 3.0 server passes owi the same string, that is: =

A/R0=3D%2Fdict%2F&QS=3DUBSDict.

But Apache 1.1.1 decodes the URL in /cgi-bin/owi/A/R0=3D/dict/&QS=3DUBSDi=
ct
and tryes to find this document. I got "File not found"-message.

Can I switch off this decoding of %XX ?

Thanks in advance,

Milos

1. URL decoding: decode user-supplied info

A cgi program is called as URL like this:
http://<host>/<path>/<cgi-prg>?<user-supplied-info>

The <user-supplied-info> is encoded by the web browser, e.g. a slash is
encoded as %2F.
How do I decode the user supplied info?
Has the cgi-prg to do the work? (in my case it's an exe - I don't have
the code)
Or can I tell the web server (apache 1.3.6) to decode it?

Thanks
