Deleting or renaming project with dash in name bront  2014-08-13 07:18

hi,

I am having an issue with deleting a project that has a dash in the name.

"...labkey/admin/DCIS–ITGB4/deleteFolder.view"

Causes a 400 Status

description: The request sent by the client was syntactically incorrect ().

thanks,

bront

Hi Bront,

Have you configured your Tomcat server.xml file to support UTF-8 characters? That's required to handle non-ASCII characters; see section 9 on this page https://www.labkey.org/wiki/home/Documentation/page.view?name=configTomcat.

That's not a normal dash... it's an "en dash", character code 8211. I was able to create, rename, and delete a project with that exact name on my local server, which has URIEncoding set to "UTF-8".

Please let us know if you're seeing this problem with UTF-8 configured.

Adam,

The issue turned out to be elsewhere in our stack, but thanks for your help.
