Steps:
- Install Nextcloud 13.0.2 at
https://example.com/nextcloud/
- Run Linux Desktop client, enter
https://example.com/nextcloud/ (note the trailing slash) as the URL
Observation:
- Desktop client fails to connect with an error message.
- Server has an HTTP 500 in the log.
- caused by this Exception in
lib/private/AppFramework/Http/Request.php:
if (!empty($path)) {
if($path === $pathInfo || strpos($pathInfo, $path.'/') === 0) {
$pathInfo = substr($pathInfo, strlen($path));
} else {
throw new \Exception("The requested uri($requestUri) cannot be processed by the script '$scriptName')");
}
}
If works if I do not provide the trailing slash in the URL.
Remedy:
Either client-side, or server-side, be more tolerant. Many users -- like myself -- type trailing slashes when entering URLs in their browser to avoid an extra HTTP round-trip. Alternatively, provide a more meaningful error message, but I'd prefer the more tolerant approach.
