I have been trying to push data into AWS SQS using AWS API Gateway, the data I send is in the form of application/x-www-form-urlencoded.

And it looks somewhat like this:

fruits[]: applefruits[]: mangofruits[]: bananaseason: summer

Now when I poll the data from AWS SQS, I see only fruits[]=apple has been stored and all others are ignored.

This is my current mapping template to push in SQS:

Action=SendMessage&MessageBody=$input.body

Looks like it has multiple $input.body but if that is the case then its kinda impossible to capture random data coming in.

I am new to AWS API Gateway, thanks in advance. :D

I have a wordpress website built with a template which doesn't support non-english characters in username. With a plugin installed, users now can use utf-8 characters in their username (like Chinese characters). but I noticed that some of the links are broken (pages couldn't be found,404 error), since these links have username (Chinese characters) as part of the url.

With my limited knowledge on wordpress, I think I need to modify the rewrite rules to accept uft8 characters in url.

For example, a url page

'website-domain/users/username1/likes'

works well with default rewrite rule:

 'regex'     => '^users/([a-z0-9_-]+)/likes/?$',

I changed the rule to:

 'regex'     => '^users/([a-z0-9_-\p{Han}]+)/likes/?$'

And hope it could handle urls with Chinese characters in the username. like

'website-domain/users/测试用户/likes'.

However, I got 404 error on it. With a debug tool, I saw the url used to match rewrite rules was like:

'users%2F%25e6%25b5%258b%25e8%25af%2595%25e7%2594%25a8%25e6%2588%25b7%2Flikes'.

So with Chinese character inside the url, the link has been encoded.

I guess one way to fix the problem is to force the url to decode before rewrite rule matching, but I don't know where and how to add the decode function. Could someone help?

Is there any other better ways to do this? Please feel free to share.

Your help is highly appreciated.

OBJECTIVE & BACKGROUND

Compare two samples of text. These text samples are descriptions of products. Sample 1 is grabbed from a textarea in a form. Sample 1 is sent via AJAX to another file to be compared with Sample 2, which is grabbed from a database.

I am attempting to send as a JSON object because I assumed that would allow me to workaround sending URLencoded data in a plain POST / GET request.

ISSUE

When I send Sample 1 via AJAX in a JSON object it is being URLencoded with + for spaces, etc ... I need the text to be sent "as is" so that it can be compared. URLdecoding will not work since there might truly be + and other characters that are part of the true Sample 1.

QUESTION

How do I send Sample 1 without URLencoding the data?

CODE

        // we need the product id and description        var pid = $("input[name='pid']").val();        var descr = $("textarea[name='descr']").val();        // put in a json object so we can see the real data        var $obj = {            "pid": pid,            "descr": descr // Sample 1        }        // make the call and return the promise        return $.ajax({            type: 'POST',            url: 'request_file.php',            dataType: "json",            data: $obj        });

My server logs show a many attempts to access non existing sides. These are the "usual" bots scanning for known vulnerabilities. Many of the URLs contain =3D, e.g.

/?q=3Duser%2Fpassword&name%5B%23p=/user/register/?element_parents=3Daccou=/wp-admin/admin-post.php?swp_debug=3Dlo=

%3D is the url encoded value of = so I would expect to find %3D within the URL but not =3D. However, =3D can be found all over the logs. What is the meaning of this?

Problem:

I'm using aspnetcore 2.1 and use HttpWebRequest to get data but the URI keep removing encoded space and return 400 Bad request error with some specific cases such as if in my GET request, the parameter contains "#" character, it'll throw an errorBut this parameter is filename so it can contain this character

Can someone let me know there is any way that we can work around on this issue?

I've tried:

GETting a URL with an url-encoded slash

Help with C# HttpWebRequest URI losing its encoding

Sample code

<code>public async Task<string> GetByteArrayFromStream(string urlInCludedParam){var url = new Uri(_hostUrl, urlInCludedParam);var request = WebRequest.Create(url) as HttpWebRequest;request.Method = HttpMethod.Get.ToString();using (var response = await request.GetResponseAsync()){    var r = (HttpWebResponse)response;    var reader = new StreamReader(r.GetResponseStream());    return reader.ReadToEnd();}}

Example:

My file name is: signed scope change#5.pdf
Before coming to above function, I've changed the file name into: 'signed%20scope%20change#5.pdf' by using: Uri.EscapeUriString(filename)
Then the url looks like:
url?filename=signed%20scope%20change#5.pdf

var url = new Uri(_coreUrl, address);
But after this line, the file name in url get back to normal ('signed scope change#5.pdf')

Now the url in HttpWebRequest looks like:
url?filename=signed scope change#5.pdf

Then when this line is run:
await request.GetResponseAsync()
The error 400 Bad Request is thrown
