URL Formatting On IIS

  • Just thought I would stop by and let you know that in the WordPress.php in modules grabs the REQUEST_URI global. Most of the time this works but on IIS, the GLOBAL REQUEST_URI is provided without encoding (%20). Most all browser encode before sending the request making the check invalid if there is a redirect entry that contains a space.

    In the Class WordPress_Module inside the method “init”; ideally you would convert this to an encoded URL to make the REQUEST_URI universal and always the same format (all all OS).

    Changing the line from:

    $url = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

    TO

    $url = str_replace(' ', '%20', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);

    would allow redirects on Windows servers that contain a space to be redirected as well.
