Invalid character found in the request target on Confluence behind nginx












0














Currently I'm using Confluene 6.10.2 behind nginx. I have some pages with the page name including character '>' could not accessible, the error is:




HTTP Status 400 – Bad Request Type Exception Report



Message Invalid character found in the request target. The valid
characters are defined in RFC 7230 and RFC 3986



Description The server cannot or will not process the request due to
something that is perceived to be a client error (e.g., malformed
request syntax, invalid request message framing, or deceptive request
routing).



Exception

But when I access the page bypassing the reverse proxy, it's ok, so it could be a problem in nginx.



I read logs in Confluence and nginx, but did not find any stranges, please advise me how to fix the issue.

  • For a lot of practical reasons, I would strongly discourage use of character such as ">" in file names, as most interactions with command line tools are likely to get confused.

Probably you'll need to add a rewrite rule.




  • Nginx Rewrite to Replace a single Character

  • Nginx Doc - Creating Rewrite Rules





if ($request_uri ~ ^(/.*)[>](.*)$) { 
return 301 $1%3E$2;
}
if ($request_uri ~ ^(/.*)[<](.*)$) {
return 301 $1%3C$2;
}





You may want to place this inside a location block to limit the scope. See this caution on the use of if.
