Illegal characters in path. - Error when using pipes "|" in the URL
Hey All,
I've been googling around for the past two days on this topic. I've found some related content but none solved my problem. So the issue is this. I've redeveloped a large traffic site:
Now I'm getting a bunch of indexed pages (google and bing) that have pipes in them (| or %7C), so when they hit the new Umbraco site, they throw a 500 error with "Illegal characters in path". I basically just need to redirect them to applicable pages but when adding them to my rewrite map in my site config it hits the error before even redirecting. You can see the error by going here:
So this stack trace points to System.IO but I've checked a bunch of stuff, even down to the registry with no luck. Why I think it might be Umbraco is because if I try to go to an umbraco handled url, it renders an Umbraco error, like this one:
I surely could just throw these links in the url removal on google and bing but there's a bunch of them, and I don't want to loose the link weight on seo. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!!
Ways that's I've got around this error is to edit the umbracoSetting.config file (under /config folder in root). Mine is probably more extensive b/c I had to add removal of tittles (accents), etc for different languages.
