HTTPAllowDecodedUrlPercent

anyone know anything about the ini parameter:

HTTPAllowDecodedUrlPercent=1

we found this:

we are trying to figure out how much of an issue this is, and whether it might be a bad thing to enable. i’m trying to figure out what it really exposes on the server, or how it might make our applications more vulnerable.

anyone know?

Hi John,

Yes, HTTPAllowDecodedUrlPercent is a parameter witch can set in the notes.ini and it describes how the domino http server handle the “%” sign in url-pattern (parts of the url).

You shold not set this parameter to HTTPAllowDecodedUrlPercent=1.

→ You sould program your applications without “%” in the design elements. Than, you never have some issues.

Thanks!

This isn’t about our application architecture, it is about attachments with the % character in the file names.
