We have an Iplanet 4.1 in front of an app server; request of the form .../?option=� fail with "Bad Request" if they contain a Spanish character... how can this be avoided?.

If we issue the request to the app server directly it does not fail; the web server is intercepting the request.

Hi,
Are you running iWS 4.x(SP3-SP5) version of iWS. If so the iWS 4.x strictly enforces US-ASCII requirements of the HTTP RFC and does not allow non-ascii characters in the field of a HTTP header.
There is a temporary workaround to relax the restriction on HTTP headers to non ASCII characters, Please add the following line to your web server magnus.conf file:
StrictHttpHeaders off
Please make sure that after changeing the values in magnus.conf file you restarted the iWS, for new changes take effect. The above workaround will work otherwise, you would need to write your own NSAPI code to scrub the HTTP headers for any non
US-ascii characters.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Dakshin.
