Double escaping suddenly does not work anymore.

Hello,
We have WCF Data Service that is configured to use
double escaping according to this article
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/peter_qian/archive/2010/05/25/using-wcf-data-service-with-restricted-characrters-as-keys.aspx
During a long time (a year or more) this solution worked well for us. And suddenly, a week ago, we found that on some our services (in cloud, in out of cloud)
double escaping does not work anymore.
For example, request to our service may looks like
http://service-host/odata-service/ContentTreeNodes('ID-%257BFEE06CEE-F667-45A2-9014-394F4B7CD3B0%257D')/
In sample above we have ID that without double escaping looks like ID-{FEE06CEE-F667-45A2-9014-394F4B7CD3B0}
But when our service processes this request ID becomes like ID-%7BFEE06CEE-F667-45A2-9014-394F4B7CD3B0%7D.
And that is means that .NET (WCF Data Services) infrastructure removes only single escaping and forget (ignore) to remove second one.
We have an assumption that issue probably maybe caused by some Windows security update. Because on some PCs it works well.
Does anybody have similar issues?

Hi,
I suppose you tried to uninstall this patch from Azure VM. If so then yes, it can not be done. Seems it prohibited by MS or at least I do not have answer how to do it.
At the same time I had no such problems with out of cloud PCs.
BWT, we recently found that we do not require double escaping anymore in our service, because single escaping now works well for us. Looks like MS fixed an issue regarding # symbol in URL path. Now if URL has # in some URL path (for example in entity ID),
then single escaped # works well.

  • Satellite U400 - the webcam does not work anymore

    Hello guys here is my sudden probloema!
    About a year ago I purchased a laptop
    TOSHIBA - Satellite U400
    with s.o. WinVista 32bit and with integrated webcam chicony etc. ....
    For a year, everything worked correctly, but for some days now, the webcam does not work anymore.
    As soon as I try to open it, a message of management software cam that says "Webcam driver open fail, please restart or computer room"
    I tried to do it all: aggioronato and downloaded the drivers from toshiba, uninstalled the program and re installed the webcam ....! updated bios notebook ....! useless!
    the strange thing .. well that going into device manager ... the webcam is not there ....! but if the launch seems to open just then check quell caz ... Warning!!
    Gan you help me?
    Graziee

    Are you familiar and comfortable with LINUX LIVE bootable discs to load an alternative operating system with unobtrusive but extensive Toshiba device support so you can determine if your webcam hardware is ruined or if the problem is software and possibly solved reinstalling Windows ?
    At this point, you're pondering less time consuming but more expensive choices such as buying another web cam, or another computer and you might be temporarily borrowing someone else's web cam / using a non preferred spare web cam that isn't optimal for your needs.
    Continuously downloading software, registry cleaners, and repeatedly reinstalling drivers will eventually ruin your Windows installation and consume more time than you've wasted so far and still doesn't guarantee to fix your malfunction.

    Try resetting your iPad:
    Double click the Home button. Slide up with one finger on ALL your apps to close them.
    Then, Press the Sleep/Wake button + Home button and hold 15 seconds or until you see the Apple logo.
    This will reset your device without erasing data, apps or settings.

  • Every time the anouncement of 10 year Thunderbird appears; when i read one mail: Thunderbird "does not work anymore"

    My thunderbirdbox contains 2 mailboxes; they appear together on the screen the same time.
    I have this "construction" for several years without problems.
    Now, with the 10year celebration of Tunderbird, when i open Thunderbird , every time there is the announcement + questioning if i can volunteer ( I whish I could....). The message covers a part of my second box....
    When i want to read one of my mails, thunderbird stocks and above in the screen the message appears Thunderbird does not work anymore. There is a menu what i want to do and i choose : close the program. Afterwards i open Thunderbird again and i can do everything i want to do.... Strange it not it?

    I've had the Mail app misbehave from time to time. Not so much lately though. But when Mail misbehaved I quit the mail app like I describe here. After that I reset my iPad. Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. The reset the iPad. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot. Finally try the Mail app again.

  • TV does not work anymore on Qosmio G10

    Good morning,
    TV does not work anymore, may be due to an update. It has been working OK before.
    When selecting TV option 'TV direct ' with MCE menu, I get the following error message: "necessary files for video display are not installed or do not work properly, restart MCE or the computer". Restarting MCE and / or G10 does not solve the problem.
    -Intervideo WinDVD creator is installed.
    -TV PCI tuner seems to work properly (as per hardware status)
    Which files can be missing? What needs to be done?
    Any help, suggestions, well appreciated.
    Thank you to anyone answering this message.

    Hello Luciano
    Like you know on this way it is not easy to give you precise answer because we dont know what did you done exactly with your Qosmio.
    Please try to use System restore tool at first and roll back the operating system to earlier time. Maybe this will help you and the MCE configuration will be as before.
    Try it at first.

    while updating my ipad to new software through itunes it got stuck and does not work anymore - it just displays the screen with symbols of itunes and the cable to connect to it - help - what should i do?

    Disconnect the iPad, do a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!, reconnect and follow the prompts.
    If that does not work then see here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • I have recently upgraded from my iphone 5 to a new phone. My iphone 5 's touch screen does not work anymore. I need to backup my phone, but I can't do it on itunes without my password. Everything besides screen is ok. Is there a way around it? :(

    I have recently upgraded from my iphone 5 to a new phone. My iphone 5 's touch screen does not work anymore. I need to backup my phone, but I can't do it on itunes without my password. Everything besides the screen is completely fine-the screen will not recognize my finger anymore. I am not trying to fix the phone, but I need to have my contacts. The pictures have already synced, but I need my password to do a full backup. Unfortunately, I can't type in my password. Is there any way around it? If I take my phone to the apple store, will they be able to help me? I am not willing to replace the screen just to do this, however, so that is out of the question. 

    Someone else may have a workaround, but, as far as I know, if you cannot interact with the screen on the iPhone, there is no way to unlock it so you can get to your contacts.
    Were you saving them to iCloud by chance? If so, you can restore them to your new phone.

  • After update Mac OS 10.9.1 Trim Enabler does not work anymore!

    After updating from Mac OS 10.9.0 to 10.9.1 the program Trim Enabler does not work anymore and my 4 SSDs from Samsung and Kingston are no longer supported.
    What can I do?
    Should I scrap my SSDs?
    Why does Apple do such things?
    Will Apple that I switch to Windows? There Trim works with all SSDs and BluRay will not boycott!

    Apple does not support TRIM for SSDs that were not factory
    installed and TRIM Enabler is a hack to get around this.  Any
    hack is always subject to being disabled, or worse, with any
    system update whether it is OSX or Windows.

  • Mac os 10.4.10 software update problem -- my mac does not work anymore :(

    hello!
    i have a powerbook G4- PPC. just today, i did a software update of my OS to 10.4.10 (it was the available update version according to the automatic uptae) and during the final stage of the installation, it says "a problem was encountered...installation package is moved to trash"
    when i browsed my mac, my apps does not work anymore!!! they just bounce from the dock when i clicked it but it won't open any window. i emptied the trash and restarted my mac but sadly, it just boot but won't continue to the log in part, only in the silver window with the apple logo and mac os x tiger... and the mouse just turns into the color wheel. i waited for 30 mins and nothing happened.
    i don't have a startup disc because the mac is a gift and it was long time ago. is ther a software i can use to fix or revert the changes of the unsuccessful OS update? why is there always a problem when i do OS update? isn't apple software stable?
    My mac problems' driving me crazy!!!

    There are no guarantees, but following this procedure when installing updates and upgrades on your Mac will go a long way towards avoiding unpleasant after effects and ‘post-update stress disorder’.
    It is also worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
    So before you do anything else:
    If you can, make a full backup first.
    Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
    1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
    2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
    At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
    3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
    If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
    Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.4.9 to 10.4.10. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
    Now proceed as follows:
    4. Close all applications.
    5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
    7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
    8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
    If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
    9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them 10.4.10. compliant. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
    N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
    Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:

  • My new ipod classic does not work anymore! The music stopped and the display is dead. What now, besides calling support?

    My new ipod classic does not work anymore! The music stopped and the display is dead. What now, besides calling support? Useless to say my PC didn't recognize the Ipod anymore either.

    Anton, I wish I could help. I had an old iPod Classic (60 KB) as a gift but it went dead, I dropped it a few times accidentally, and it sat carefully saved until I had sufficient resources, energy and time to get the matter addressed. In my case, I actually took the thing (after making sure it was charged) to an Apple store and one of the geniuses at the genius bar at the back of the store took it and did a few things (unseen and un-noted) with his fingers and handed it to me with a sly smile. Voila, the thing was functional. I got a re-functionalized iTunes account and store access when I bought my iMac. I did lose a few tunes along the way because it didn't recognize my new iMac as the source (my old dead PC laptop), but I have a more functional memory than the iPod and recovered them all in other ways. The whole thing is humming better than ever. At over 11 gb full, I have 4.2 days worth of portable listening. Be patient; it took me four years to get musical nirvana in a pocket, but you'll get there faster. Call support.
