Summary

Confluence shows stack trace when accessing a page that uses a special character in the title

Environment

Confluence 5.10.2
Safari
Mozilla Firefox

Steps to Reproduce

Create a page and add a special character (e.g. a '|'' in the title)
Save the page
In Firefox or Safari, log into Confluence and paste the URL directly, for example http://localhost:8090/confluence/display/BATS/page+|+test

Expected Results

Page is displayed properly using any browser. This was tested in Confluence 5.8.5 and we found that going to that link directly even with a special character displayed the page without issues

Actual Results

User sees a 'java.net.URISyntaxException: Illegal character in path at index' stack trace on the page. This error is thrown in the logs:

Notes

This issue does not usually occur with Chrome.

Here is the list of the special characters:

";", "?", "/", "#", "%", "+", "|", "[", "]", "\"

Workaround

There are a couple of ways to change this.

Changes in reverse proxy

Follow this guide: Pages with special characters are not accessible via reverse proxy.

Changes in Confluence

Use Chrome to access the page

Remove the special character from the title of the page

Run this SQL query (adjust the title section for the relevant invalid character)

select contentid, contenttype, title, lowertitle, lastmoddate from content where contenttype = 'PAGE' and prevver is NULL and (title like '%[%' or title like '%]%') order by lastmoddate;

For each contentid edit the page with
- http://confluence.mycompany.com/pages/editpage.action?pageId=<contentid>
