URL Rewriting: Special characters ie. ę, ą, ł and their url encoded representations aren't supported.

[SzymonSel]

It's seem like special characters ie. ę, ą, ł and their url encoded representations aren't supported.

• ę, ą, ł in the redirect URL cause an internal server error
• endcoded ie. %C5%82 (which stands for ł) crashes the site completly.

I just tried a redirect rule with me -> ZoltánLehóczky and it works as expected. Sorry @Piedone for using your name but it fit nicely in this use case :)

[hishamco]

@SzymonSel no action is needed here, or give me details to reproduce your case

[Piedone]

I feel there is a Polish joke in this somewhere, but as a Hungarian, I probably shouldn't throw stones in the glasshouse :).

[SzymonSel]

Haha 😀
@hishamco Try redirecting to a page /zespół

[hishamco]

Please try the latest bits, it works as expected as well

[SzymonSel]

This has no effect:

And this crashes then site so it needs to be restarted. (Linux Web App on Azure)

On OC 2.1.0-preview-18401. I will check the latest build.

Now it crashes the whole site, seems the issue comes from URL encoding. Could you please try zespol instead of encode the URL

[SzymonSel]

zespol works of course.

[hishamco]

Nah, I thought the issue was with the special characters. If a problem with the URL encoded, I will have a look one more time.

But the question is why do you encode the URL yourself? The AddApacheModRewrite() throws an exception when you are using such URL

[SzymonSel]

Well redirectig to zespół doesn't work for me, so I started looking for solutions and one that stood out, was that it requires encoding.
