http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28574 Return links on Customizable ErrorDocument pages are broken. Summary: Return links on Customizable ErrorDocument pages are broken. Product: Apache httpd-2.0 Version: 2.0.49 Platform: Sun OS/Version: Solaris Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Core AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The return links, i.e. the links linking back to the refering page, in the Customizable ErrorDocument Pages fail to return to their refering page, if the refering page's URI had a non-null QUERY_STRING, e.g. '/index.html?query_string'. The return link is represented as '/index.html%3fquery_string', i.e. to an page that most likely does not exist, and thus will result in a "HTTP 404 : Object not found" error instead of returning to the user back to '/index.html?query_string'. I noticed that the URL in these pages is inserted as <!--#echo encoding="url" var="HTTP_REFERER" -->, and thus url-encodes the separating '?' between the DOCUMENT_URI and QUERY_STRING, i.e. represents it as '%3f' instead of just '?'. The following pages are affected by this, IMHO, bug: HTTP_GONE.html.var ( one instance per locale ) HTTP_NOT_FOUND.html.var ( two instance per locale ) and possibly also: HTTP_UNATUHORIZED.html.var ( one instance per locale ) I'm not sure if it is sufficient to change the encoding to "none", or if there is need to explicitly represent these return-links with an explicit '?' separating the DOCUMENT_URI and QUERY_STRING. Probably the latter approach is needed. You should be able to trigger this behaviour by: 1). Enable Customizable ErrorDocuments, and restart httpd. 2). Create a page, e.g. index.html, containing a link to a page that doesn't exsit, e.g. '/FILE-DOES-NOT-EXIST'. 3). Access that page via 'http://localhost/index.html?query_string'. 4). Click on the (broken) link to '/FILE-DOES-NOT-EXIST', which should trigger a 'Error: 404 - Object not found!' error response. 5). Click on either the 'referring page', or 'that page' link in order to - at least intending to - return to your '/index.html' page. This will fail, and trigger another 404 error instead of returning to '/index.html?query_string'. As always; should you need more information, the just let me know.
