Where are this config from my file:

relaxedPathChars="[]|" relaxedQueryChars="[]|{}^&#x5c;&#x60;&quot;&lt;&gt;"

Can I still use this XML file or do I need the new one?

I try the new File white this options:

 -->

<Connector port="8443" protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol"
maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" SSLEnabled="true"
maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25"
enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true"

clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" useBodyEncodingForURI="true"
keyAlias="[DOMAIN]" keystoreFile="[PATH]" keystorePass="[PW]" keystoreType="JKS"/>

 Server hangs full up... :-(

I need hugs or ....

 

Thanks :-)

Hi @Manuela Schweizer ,

you need to add parameters relaxedPathChars and relaxedQueryChars to your connector seeting. Something like this

<Connector port="8080" relaxedPathChars="[]|" relaxedQueryChars="[]|{}^&#x5c;&#x60;&quot;&lt;&gt;"
maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" connectionTimeout="20000" enableLookups="false"
maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" protocol="HTTP/1.1" useBodyEncodingForURI="true" redirectPort="8443"
acceptCount="100" disableUploadTimeout="true" bindOnInit="false" secure="true" scheme="https"
proxyName="XXXXXXXX" proxyPort="443"/>
