RE: Domino server crash on specific search query ~Samuel Chukitexynds 16.Jan.04 02:54 PM a Web browser Domino Server 6.5; 6.0.3Windows 2003, Windows 2000, Windows XP
I replace the space with %20 because a URL is not allowed to contain any spaces. If you watch any URL that for example Internet Explorer submits, you'll see that the browser automatically replaces the space and any other non-ASCII alphanumeric characters to the ISO-Latin-1 character set, that can be interpreted by the server. There's even a special JavaScript command that does this for JS, "escape" and "unescape". Some browsers, such as (ancient) Netscape 4.7 do not do this, which means that they will submit a URL containing a space, that can not be interpreted by the server.
As I said, the crash will also occur when using a + sign instead of the %20.
> How are you passing in/ generating the URL?
I think it doesn't really matter how the URL is generated, as the problem seems to be with the URL itself.
Have you tried the search query? I hope you didn't do it on a production server...
