Portal Favorites Bad Request Invalid URL

Recently upgraded from EP6.0 SP13 to SP16.
When selecting a link, folder or document from within Portal Favorites - Bad Request Invalid URL error is displayed.
I have changed the Isolation Mode to URL on Portal Favorites iView - but this has not fixed the problem.
Any thoughts?

Probelm is fixed as per SAP Note 815344.
Go to the definition of the affected iViews in the Portal Content Catalog. You can find the following parameters there: 'Path to initially displayed Folder' and 'path to root folder for navigation'.
In 'path to initially displayed folder', replace the < character with %3c and > with %3e. DO not change the second parameter.

IISProxy URL - Bad Request (Invalid URL) in refresh option

Hello SDN colleagues,
We are facing a very strange behavior in SAP EP 6, let me try to explain as clear as I can.
First, the EP version:
J2EE Engine 6.40 PatchLevel 89291.313
Portal 6.0.11.3.0
KnowledgeManagementCollaboration 6.0.9.0.0 (NW04 SPS09)
We have activated Windows Authentication Integration through IISProxy (version 1.6.2.0), it's working fine and the portal users are being authenticated automatically once the're logged in the MS network, using the url http://sapep.domain.com/irj.
The problem: when the user clicks the "Refresh" option in the Page Title Bar, the portal displays the message "Bad Request (Invalid URL)." This is happening with all pages, and the worst - in the UWL iview when the user tries to launch a transaction.
But if the user logs on using the authentication form - url http://sapep.domain.com:50000/irj/portal - there is no error.
It seems that the problem is related to the mapping made by IISProxy, after logging the user and redirecting to the portal it's just change the url to the standard (port 50000) then it works fine.
Here is the mapping done in the iisproxy xml file:
<ISAPI-config version="1.6">
   <filter name="IisProxy filter" authentication="forward" />
      <extension name="IisProxy extension" />
        <mapping name="IisProxy Portal" >
          <source>
            <protocol>http</protocol>
            <prefix>/irj</prefix>
          </source>
          <source>
            <protocol>http</protocol>
            <prefix>/portal</prefix>
            <new-prefix>/irj</new-prefix>
          </source>
          <source>
            <protocol>http</protocol>
            <new-prefix>/irj</new-prefix>
          </source>
          <target>
            <protocol>http</protocol>
            <host>sapep.domain.com</host>
            <port>50000</port>
          </target>
       <compress-types>text/html, text/plain</compress-types>
     </mapping>
Any idea ? Is it possible to keep the standard url ?
Thanks in advance, and regards.

Hi Fernando,
This sounds like SAP Note 734462:
https://websmp103.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/012006153200000213912004E.ITF
Microsoft Link (also avilable in the note):
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;820129
The value to change is UrlSegmentMaxLength (We changed from 260 to 1000).
A restart to the whole server is required for the change to take affect (since it's a change to the registry).
Hope that helps,
Yoav.

HTTP 400 Bad Request Invalid URL error when URL contain only percent "%" without any Hexadecimal

Hi All, I'm trying to redirect a custom error page when URL contain percent "%" symbol. But when I use percent "%" symbol in URL (https://mctest.aspial.com.sg/%), its saying below error. I don't want to show this error message. I want
to redirect users to custom error page. I already added custom error page in IIS & Web.config file for status code 400. But It's now working. It's still showing the same error.
Bad Request - Invalid URL
HTTP Error 400. The request URL is invalid
Is there any way to redirect custom error page when URL contain only "%" symbol? Anyone please help me on this. Thanks advance.
Below are my server details:
IIS version 7.5
.Net Framework 4.0

I see, so the issue isn't with the % in the query string but rather the URL path itself. In that case I don't believe this is anything related to your app but rather the web server. When you provide a URL the web server has to map that to an
application. Depending upon where the character falls determines who gets to handle it. Since the % is next to the domain name it is most likely not being mapped by the web server so you get the general 400 error. Since this isn't an app
issue but a server level issue you'd have to redirect at the server level (in IIS: Server\Error Pages). If the % is inside an application's virtual directory then it becomes an issue for the application (in IIS: Site\Error Pages).
But things can get more complicated. The web server generally has filters so it won't support requests for certain things (like web.config in ASP.NET apps). Filtering can be done anywhere between the server and the application. Complicating
this is virtual path providers (like MVC).
To be honest I don't think you should be worrying about this scenario. An invalid % in a URL is a bad request so you shouldn't try to treat it differently than a regular 400 error. In fact I'd say that it could be a security hole (depending
upon what you're doing). So you can customize 400 errors at the server or app level if you want but I wouldn't bother trying to distinguish bad URLs from bad requests.
I recommend you post this question in the ASP.NET forums (http://forums.asp.net ) to see if anyone has a better answer.

Intermittent 400 Bad Request - Invalid Verb SharePont 2010

Hey,
This is a long shot that someone has seen this or maybe can give some hints on finding the problem.
We are getting a rare (once per day) 400 Bad Request - Invalid Verb error in SharePoint 2010 during a POST - this has happened when adding a ListItem. Once the page is refreshed it works perfectly.
We have an on-premise instance of SharePoint 2010, it happens on all browsers.
The request header looks exactly the same for a succesful update as athe error. Any ideas where to start?
The response in Fiddler is

Hi,
For narrowing down the issue, we need more investigations. Please provide more information about:
What web form were you posting? Is it an customized web form page? Or you could save more detail information in Fiddler and send to me via
[email protected] .
Since it is an intermittent issue, is there any application-layer awareness intermediate device such as proxy or reverse proxy/gateway between your client machine and SharePoint server? If so, please exclude the IP of SharePoint Server in the Proxy and
test the issue again.
Please check your IIS log and see if there is any error message related error 400.
Moreover, please check the performance of your SPS server, WFE and especially SQL server.

400   Bad Request - Invalid path /b2c/secure was requested

Hi,
I have two jsp pages. first page is included as a link in one of the inc.jsp in B2C application.
This page has few input fields and upon submit button. I get error message
400 Bad Request - Invalid path /b2c/secure was requested
the action tag written in config.xml is like:
<action path="/b2c/xyz" type="package_name.xyz">
          <forward name="success" path="/b2c/Page2.jsp"/>
          <forward name="failure" path="/b2c/Page2.jsp"/>
          </action>
in web.xml:
<servlet>
        <servlet-name>Page1.jsp</servlet-name>
        <jsp-file>/b2c/Page1.jsp</jsp-file>
        </servlet>
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>Page2.jsp</servlet-name>
        <jsp-file>/b2c/Page2.jsp</jsp-file>
    </servlet>
Please let me know if you could help me with the needful. Appreciate your earliest response.

Hi Bharathi,
If you are embedding a link in jsp where you are directly calling another jsp, its always better to code it like this
<a href="<isa:webappsURL name="/b2c/Page1.jsp"/>" target="_new">
There is no need to make any changes in web.xml file.
If in your inc.jsp you want to call an action class on click on a link than call a javascript method onclick on that link
test() is a javascript method where you will call your action class like
function test() {
       isaTop().parent.location.href="<isa:webappsURL name='/b2c/xyz1.do'/>";
Changes in config.xml should be like
<action path="/b2c/xyz1" type="package_name.xyz">
          <forward name="success" path="/b2c/Page2.jsp"/>
          <forward name="failure" path="/b2c/Page2.jsp"/>
</action>
Make use of "<isa:webappsURL name='/test/test.jsp'/>" and it will work. Hope this helps you.
Regards,
Arshi

Why can't I use the Yahoo! search function? I get the following message: "Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)"

I cannot search on Yahoo! but Google works fine (inasmuch as you can trust Google)
The simplest of searches yields "Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)" on the first try. I have gone through Yahoo!'s trouble shooting process w/o results.

Yahoo search engine still doesn't work, and Google does. Other programs on my computer are:
Norton Internet Security;
Norton Utilities;
Verizon In-home agent; (I don't use it, but have a Verizon wireless router);
Windows Explorer (I reset it but still can't use Yahoo search even though Google works fine)
I am paranoid that some how the evil Google has sabotaged Yahoo search! HELP!!!

Cant access search engines anymore. it always comes up with: bad request, invalid hostname

for some reasen my laptop started to connect to the internet via my univerisities proxy server. today, however, web sites didnt load at all, instead it said: cant connect to proxy server.
so i changed the network/proxy settings by deselecting 'use a proxy server for your lan'.
consequently i was able to acces most web sites, apart from search engines. if i try to do so, it always comes up with: bad request, invalid hostname.
what can i do?

btw i have windows 7 :)

Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)

Hi! I am attempting to switch my hosting account on one of my
websites. The host gives me "shell access" information, but I can't
find where to enter it in Dreamweaver. The result is when
attempting to access the website I get the message "Bad Request
(Invalid Hostname)". Can anybody help me? I would appreciate
it!

You need the FTP information not the shell access
information. Do you have
that?

Bad request for URL?

Hello All
Whenever I try to call this .Net web service through a simple test:

bah forget about it... I found the error. BEA url-encodes as well and
the URL encoding for % is %25 thus making the URL %2520. I made the
service owner remove the blankspace in the URL

What does "bad request (invalid hostname)" mean? thanks!

each time i try to access www.childrensguild.org, i get the error message "bad request (invalid host)". I have accessed the site numerous times before. have tried it on IE, without www and still no success. is it their server? thanks!

I also have this problem. It usually attacks search engines such as Google, Yahoo and Bing. I am searching for ways to fix it right now, I will reply if I find anything.

Bad Request - Invalid Verb

Has anyone seen this before? I'm logged in as an admin. No matter what role, I get this error. This is a single tier installation. I have tried rebooting the VM as well.
All VCM services are running. Windows Host VM is Server 2008 R2.

I don't recall ever seeing this behavior before, and I've been working with VCM a long time.
What version is this?
DId it ever work? If so, when did it stop working?
Are you getting the same error when running Internet Explorer directly on the Collector as you do when running it from a remote machine?
Checking the Windows IIS logs (text logs) would be a good way to get more details of the error, as it appears to be an IIS-generated error.

When i search somethingand i open it, it comes up bad request (invalid header name)

I tried to go to tools and i don't know where and what to press.. i tried restarting it but it won't work either what should i do please help!!

How to edit the short navigation url in portal favorite folder in bulk

Hi,
We have around 100-150 users who have added a specific url in their portal favorite section. This url has changed now and we need to update the same for all the users. We tried using various search and replace tools by connecting using portaldrive. We even wrote a KM API which will do the search and replace. But both these programs are not able to change the .url files whih are created from KM. But if we create the same by portal drive we are able to find and replace.
Regards,
AJ

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the reply.
I guess you have wrongly interpreted the problem, let me more clear on this.
Currently we have around 150 users accessing the portal and suppose they have added a link named ABC with url http://www.abc.com in their favorites. Now if we need to change this url to new one, like http://www.xyz.com, then one solution is, go to Favorites folder of each user in userhome and change there manually. But in case of large no. of user database this will be a cumbersome task, so want to know that how to do bulk replace and find in KM. We have tried developing a KM api and also used a third party tool for the same but all in vain.
Can anyone pls suggest some other way ??
Regards,
AJ
