Bug #: 28510
Summary: Searching for terms with periods in the query string
gives 403 errror - e.g. Data.gov
Product: Wikipedia Mobile
Version: .5
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Normal
Component: server
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Performing a search for any term with a dot/period in the query results in an
error.
For example
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki?search=Data.gov
Results in
"Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /wiki on this server.
Apache/2.2.14 (Ubuntu) Server at en.m.wikipedia.org Port 80"
This happens across all instances of Mobile Wikipedia that I could find.
I believe this is caused by a misconfiguration in .htaccess .
