Ability to Allow HTTP to Parse the Non-encoded Characters

With A5(3.0) release you can configure ACE HTTP to parse the non-encoded special characters.

By default, ACE follows RFC-2396 compliance and if any unwise characters (non-encoded special
characters) comes in the url request then HTTP detects those non-encoded characters and resets the
connection.If you configure this CLI command then ACE will allow the non-encoded special characters.

New CLI Commands

The syntax for this are as follows:

system-defaults http-parsing allow-non-encoded-chars

Example:

switch/Admin(config)#

switch/Admin(config)# system-defaults http-parsing allow-non-encoded-chars

Warning: Allowing HTTP traffic containing non-encoded characters implicitly means

non-compliance to RFC 2396

switch/Admin(config)#

Note

This is a global level CLI which is applicable for all the contexts.
