We have an integration with a software that houses a URL that directs a search to WebAccess.  Done it many time but in this case we are getting a 404 Error. 

Here is the link we have in the software:

http://servername/laserfiche/index.aspx%3Fdb%3Dreponame%23view%3Dsearch%3Bsearch%3D%7B%5B%5D%3A%5BPID%5D%3D%22234234%22%7D

If you spin this through a URL decoder you get:

http://servername/laserfiche/index.aspx?db=reponame#view=search;search={[]:[PID]="234234"}

This looks right and it works.  However, the encoded URL gives us the following page

The requested URL shows: http://servername:80/laserfiche/index.aspx?db=reponame#view=search;search={[]:[PID]="234234"}

If I copy and paste this into IE or Chrome this works.

However I noticed the physical path shows:  C:\Program Files\Laserfiche\Web Access\Web Files\index.aspx?db=reponame#view=search;search={[]:[PID]="234234"}

It is like it is trying to go down further than it should.

The URL works when it is not encoded.  The URL also works if I copy the Requested URL from the error page.  It does not seem to works when passed encoded.

I asked if the URL could be not encoded in the application but it appears they use the encoding in some way to get a PID.  They are on 10.3

Thanks,

Chris

Edit -  I was able to re-produce this on our internal 10.3 environment using another field.

1.  Put a field with some info on it in Laserfiche.

2.  Create URL to search for that field and info.

3.  Tested and it worked.

4.  Put working URL into encoder.

5.  Try the encoded link and get error.
