Unable to use filter

[Slavka Petrova]

Hello,

We experience several problems with the filters in Jira 6.3.1. When we open some filter the filter field is missing. Also we are not able to save a new filter.

The end points

/rest/api/2/filter/favourite?expand=subscriptions[-5:]&_=1533276806440
/rest/api/2/filter/29509?expand=subscriptions[-5:]&_=1533276806673

return 400 without response body. On the server side there are not any errors.

This is the screenshot with the problem:

Could you advise how to fix the issue?

Thank you,

Hello,

After the investigation we have found that the issue appears because of new Tomcat version :

The new behavior of Tomcat is an intentional fix for https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=62273 . With this they make Tomcat completely compliant with RFC7230 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230) – The HTTP 1.1 spec and RFC3986 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986) – the URL syntax spec. Previously Tomcat had some of the requirements of these specifications relaxed.

 With the new change Tomcat expects all of the characters, which should be url-encoded according to the specifications, actually to be url-encoded.

Question now is if there the JIRA version where such Tomcat behavior  is fixed?

Thank you,

Slavka Petrova

In the tomcat configuration for the connector, there should be support for a relaxedQueryChars configuration option, as described here http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.5-doc/config/http.html#Standard_Implementation that you can add.

Originating from this issue (which I found from your link: https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=62273#c20 )
