In most cases URLs running over HTTP work fine, but not when using HTTPS (i.e. over SSL). JIRA is running in Tomcat (or JIRA Standalone). This usually results in Unicode (non-ASCII) characters in an HTTPS URL appear incorrect in the URL, and the served page contains numerous errors This occurs when the useBodyEncodingForURI="true" flag is not defined in the HTTPS connector definition in JIRA_HOME/conf/server.xml. Ensure that the useBodyEncodingForURI="true" flag is included in the section for HTTPS: <Connector port="8443" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75" enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true" acceptCount="100" scheme="https" secure="true" clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" useBodyEncodingForURI="true" /> After specifying the useBodyEncodingForURI="true" in all connector definitions (i.e. both the HTTP and the HTTPS connectors), as described in the Modifying Tomcat server.xml documentation. |
