Dear, After upgrading tomcat to version 8.5.14 the webserver returns a 400 error when accessing any web page using a | (pipe) in one of the request parameters.
The | (pipe) is added when the URL is re-written using google analytics _getLinkerUrl(), see javascript function below. <script> var pageTracker = _gat._getTrackerByName(); var uri=pageTracker._getLinkerUrl(“http://shop.bakkerijhaasnoot.nl”); alert(uri); </script> http://shop.bakkerijhaasnoot.nl?__utma=68893267.349269500.1493841017.1493841017.1493913856.2&__utmb=68893267.38.9.1493914656569&__utmc=68893267&__utmx=-&__utmz=68893267.1493841017.1.1.utmcsr=(direct) | utmccn=(direct) | utmcmd=(none)&_utmv=-&_utmk=59369258 Previous to tomcat 8.5.14 this was never an issue. It is possible to replace the | (pipe) for a %7C this prevents tomcat from returning a 400 error but how can we tell tomcat not to response with a 400 when a | (pipe) is used in the value of one of the parameters. We rolled back to an older version (tomcat 8.5.4) to solve the issue but this is actually a temporary solution. Thanks in advance!
