Hi all,
I've spent the last 3 days trying to get a . and : in a GET request - in the format of IP address and port. e.g. http://localhost:8000/server/111.222.222.111:5555
Basically, it works with only dots, or only colons. If the URL contains a dot and colon, a 404 is thrown.
Route: Route::get('/server/{ipport}', ['uses' => 'ServerController@show', 'as' => 'server.show']);
I have tried several combinations of routes, e.g adding closures to the route as well, all to no avail.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Hi!
Are the links clickable from your application or in a text field on another page, or do visitors need to type them in manually?
Because the easiest way around it is to urlencode that portion of the query string and link to that. That way you could put any kind of character in the url without it braking anything.
Hi there,
Both. The link needs to be clickable and accessible directly from the URL - /server/111.222.222.111:5555
Thanks
Any ideas?
: isn't allowed in the url path because it's a reserved character.
Encode the : to %3A
Example: /server/111.222.222.111%3A5555
That's interesting. When I go to the URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/server/173:555, it works fine. But http://127.0.0.1:8000/server/173.33:55 throws a 404.
Just when there is both a . and : it throws a 404.
Would it be possible to use web server config to handle the URL? URLs containing an IP address and port are a very essential part of this project. I don't expect users to type %3A.
And encoding the . to %2e?
/server/111%2e222%2e222%2e111%3A5555
It does work successfully when I keep . and convert : to %3A.
See this website as an example (I have just chosen something completely random): https://www.gameserverdirectory.com/server/192.223.30.247:27015/
. and : in the URL - no encoding needed. I hope it's possible to do something like this with Laravel.
