--- Comment #37 from Julien Mrz <jmaurizi...@gmail.com> --- Hi, Do you have any update on it please ? I'm facing an issue that seems to be related to this bug. I've found in errorlog files that GoogleAdsBot sometimes requests urls using "%3F" instead of "?" for query parameters. And when the string length of query parameters are >=255 chars, it results in "403 Forbidden". It is very critical cause it can impact Adwords campaigns. You can reproduce it with a standard installation of Apache2: http://localhost/%3Ftest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255charte Also tried on other websites, like: - "%3F" followed by 255char: https://apache.org/%3Ftest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255charte => 403 Forbidden - "%3F" followed by 254char: https://apache.org/%3Ftest254chartest254chartest254chartest254chartest254chartest254chartest254chartest254chartest254chartest254chartest254chartest254chartest254chartest254chartest254chartest254chartest254chartest254chartest254chartest254chartest254chartest254chartest254chart => 404 not found (normal behavior ?) - "?" followed by 255char: https://apache.org/?test255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255chartest255charte => works properly I've also tried to use url rewriting to make a full redirect of any requests, and I got the same results: works until 254 chars, after it's Forbidden. It seems that Apache2 doesn't evaluate config or htaccess files when we got the %3F +255char. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: bugs-unsubscr...@httpd.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: bugs-h...@httpd.apache.org
