Bug#337325: mod_proxy: encodes URLs in error messages wrongly
Package: apache2-common
Version: 2.0.55-3
Severity: minor
I've been getting a few error messages from mod_proxy as such:
---snip---
Proxy Error
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request GET
http://bcm-specs.sipsolutions.net/Sending?action=edit.
Reason: DNS lookup failure for: bcm-specs.sipsolutions.net
---snip---
Now I tried clicking on that URL but that made me go to the URL
http://bcm-specs.sipsolutions.net/Sending%3faction=edit
Notice how the questionmark was URL-encoded.
Looking at the source code of the error message reveals:
<a href="http://bcm-specs.sipsolutions.net/Sending%3faction=edit";>GET http://bcm-specs.sipsolutions.net/Sending?action=edit</a>
The URL inside the href="..." shouldn't be URL-encoded, it should be HTML
encoded. In this case, no encoding is necessary at all.
