404 not working for unicode URL

[Erbenos]

Hello,

I encountered interesting behaviour yesterday.

I have custom module, which serves as 404 redirect which works like this: 

$this->addHookAfter("ProcessPageView::pageNotFound", $this, "hook404Page");

And in hook404Page function I return 404 page.

The problem is while this does work for:

http://testsite.dev/nonpage

It doesn't work for non standard URL like these:

http://testsite.dev/něnpage

Any idea why? Thanks.

You need to enable UTF8 URIs in your htaccess file. I assume you are using ProcessWire 2.8 or 3.0, and so you can simply comment out rule 16a and uncomment rule 16b (if I'm not mistaken). This should enable the URIs you would like to use.

Thank you, but that didn't fix it for me. I chanched htaccess, restarted Apache and nothing changed.

Just to confirm did you uncomment this rule?

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} "^/~?[-_./a-zA-Z0-9æåäßöüđжхцчшщюяàáâèéëêěìíïîõòóôøùúûůñçčćďĺľńňŕřšťýžабвгдеёзийклмнопрстуфыэęąśłżź]*$"

Also, you don't need to restart Apache when changing htaccess files; you only need to restart if you have changed a configuration file, such as httpd.conf or a virtual host file.

[Erbenos]

Yes, that exact line:

Then I'm afraid I'm not sure what the problem is. I use the same hook and rul 16b for Jumplinks 2, and it works. Is your specific problem that your hook404Page method doesn't get triggered at all?

[BitPoet]

Could it be that the .htaccess file got convert to an ISO encoding?

[Erbenos]

I actually use your jumplinks plugin for redirecting old rules to the new ones. As @BitPoet said, I ll check encoding and will come back with an answer. Thanks everyone.

Update: File is in UTF-8

[Erbenos]

Whoa... this is kind of funny. There is setting specifically for what I want just below:

 

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # 14. OPTIONAL: Send URLs with non-ASCII name-format characters to 404 page (optimization)
  # -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} "[^-_.a-zA-Z0-9/~]"
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?it=/http404/ [L,QSA]

One may wonder how does he have utf8 page names and correct 404 redirects but oh well, this is just what i needed.

[Mike Rockett]

Surely that will automatically send anything that does not have -_.a-zA-Z0-9/~ to http404?

[Erbenos]

Yep, but I dont actually use utf-8 addresses, I just needed to redirect them to 404, because without this option, it wasn't working.
