Author Topic: trailing slash or backslash causes error value id "is not of the type positive" (Read 636 times)

For some reason the browser is adding a backslash to the event registration url (not sure why that is ...) but if the url is /civicrm/event/register?id=808/ or /civicrm/event/register?id=808\ civicrm logs an error id (value: 808/) is not of the type Positive

Apache is supposed to strip this (tested with AllowEncodedSlashes On and Off - anyone know why this might be happening?

That's interesting. Do you know at what stage the / is being added?

i.e. if you go to /civicrm/event/register?id=808 do you get redirected to /civicrm/event/register?id=808/?

Or is it that some of the event links are badly formed on specific pages?

The former works fine. If a slash or backslash trails I get the error. I thought it was apache but I have no problem with drupal if trailing. I think it is an edge case in how civi processes the url but not able to debug. It happens on my server and pantheon. Could be related to drupal redirect but I doubt it as it strip trailing slash. It is intermittent too which is puzzling.....

I don't this you would get it with CiviCRM either if the trailing slash was at the end of the path, but it is part of the query parameter, hence interpreted differently, i.e.

Quote

/civicrm/event/register/?id=808

would be fine
but

Quote

/civicrm/event/register?id=808/

(and I think it would be a problem in Drupal as well if it were part of the parameter, e.g. https://civicrm.org/providers?country=1226/ doesn't work.

On what page is it intermittently adding this slash. Is it a / or a \ ?
