Description Platonides 2008-10-20 19:23:32 UTC
If a url contains a & the request fails with the "Servers experiencing a technical problem" message and ERR_ACCESS_DENIED, probably to block broken user-agents at the squids level. However, the message is misleading. If we're not giving 'Bad title' as with the other entities, it should identify the real reason.
Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2008-10-20 19:45:01 UTC
Changed summary to clarify that this is a request to improve the error message, rather than a complaint that the error occurs.
Comment 2 Mike.lifeguard 2009-06-27 23:19:04 UTC
Adding Domas to CC as (I think) he set up squid to give this error.
