Heiya,
this is painful for me.
There is a wiki accessible with the following logic:
"http://example.com/wiki/Main_Page"
When I edit I have:
"http://example.com/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=edit"
To get this magic running I have the following RewriteRules:
RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/?wiki(/.*)?$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/w/index.php [L] RewriteRule ^/?$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/w/index.php [L]
And in "LocalSettings.php":
$wgScriptPath = "/w"; $wgScriptExtension = ".php"; $wgArticlePath = "/wiki/$1"; $wgUsePathInfo = true; // true or false does not make a difference
Everything is cool until I dare to try accessing a page containing a special character, e.g. "http://example.com/wiki/So_ein_%C3%84rger" and end up in an indefinite redirect loop.
This wiki is a MW 1.26.2.
Any hint out there? Never encountered anything similar. Admittedly not my first wiki.
Thanks and cheers
Karsten
at fist glance it looks like your web server is mangling the encoding.

I guess you might very well be right. Is there an Apache setting which controls such a mess? Needless to say that this is shared hosing.

This sounds very similar to another bug where IIS users get infinite redirect loops in 1.26.
Someone tried to 'fix' another bug by introducing a new normalizing redirect to MediaWiki in 1.26.
But it's starting to look like enough attention was not paid to the "edge" cases of web servers an international text other than the narrow subset this change was tested with.
Which IMHO is not the web server's fault, because this http->server->php area the normalization is treading in is NOT a standardized thing one should expect certain forms of normalization.

Heiya Daniel,
thank you for your insight and assessment of the situation. While I myself cannot do such an elaborate analysis as in [1] I can now confirm that pulling MW 1.26.2 in favour of MW 1.25.5 got me a fully accessible wiki. Same "LocalSettings.php" and same RewriteRules. Thus I can confirm that there is indeed something in the water.
I will be on phabricator regarding this.
Cheers and thanks again!
Cheers Karsten

Heiya,<br /><b>thank you</b> again for your input.
As it turns out the browsers (Fx, Ch, O, Wb, etc. are decoding %C3 to %c3 instead of just sending %C3.
Some people reported that setting "AddDefaultCharset UTF-8" in Apache and "default_charset = "UTF-8" in PHP should do and did the trick but this particular environment is still resting.
Any other ideas on how to mitigate this somehow?

Hi Ad,
I guess it is a standard procedure to have Short-URL supporting multibyte characters when using MediaWiki. Using this feature without having to do a backflip in some environments will be nice. Starting with MW 1.26+ there are issues and I currently do not know how I should do my backflip.

As it turns out the browsers (Fx, Ch, O, Wb, etc. are decoding %C3 to %c3 instead of just sending %C3.
Some people reported that setting "AddDefaultCharset UTF-8" in Apache and "default_charset = "UTF-8" in PHP should do and did the trick but this particular environment is still resting.
Any other ideas on how to mitigate this somehow?

Heiya Daniel,
thank you for your insight and assessment of the situation. While I myself cannot do such an elaborate analysis as in [1] I can now
confirm
that pulling MW 1.26.2 in favour of MW 1.25.5 got me a fully
accessible
wiki. Same "LocalSettings.php" and same RewriteRules. Thus I can
confirm
that there is indeed something in the water.
I will be on phabricator regarding this.
Cheers and thanks again!

Heiya Jonathan,
yeah, actually the rewriting stuff is done in the virtualhost configuration and works. It's just these b... umlauts and stuff ... ;)
I will think of something else ... Would not like to change the provider but in the end.

I guess it is a standard procedure to have Short-URL supporting multibyte characters when using MediaWiki. Using this feature without having to do a backflip in some environments will be nice. Starting with MW 1.26+ there are issues and I currently do not know how I should do my backflip.

for the rewrite rules you can also put them in .htaccess that is how wordpress does things.

This sounds very similar to another bug where IIS users get infinite redirect loops in 1.26.
Someone tried to 'fix' another bug by introducing a new normalizing redirect to MediaWiki in 1.26.
But it's starting to look like enough attention was not paid to the "edge" cases of web servers an international text other than the narrow subset this change was tested with.
Which IMHO is not the web server's fault, because this http->server->php area the normalization is treading in is NOT a standardized thing one should expect certain forms of normalization.
