Are you using a proxy server? I don't know of a fix right now if you are, but I suspect that might be causing the issue…

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,
yub, browsed the web last week & found the solution. We used an Apache with mod_jk in front of our tomcat & and our jkOption configs were wrong.
here is a helpful website about jkOption pitfalls: http://temporary.name/java/index.php/uncategorized/mod_jk-pitfalls-jkoptions-and-request-uri-handling

With Apache HTTP 2.2 and mod_jk to forward requests to Alfresco Tomcat

Added the following VirtualHost entry

JkOptions +ForwardURICompatUnparsed

to my VirtualHost configuration and it works fine now.

I am having a similar issue but it is not with opening files. I have a remote call to Repository. In the call the variable that is being passed contains a space. I get the same error. Here is the exact error message.

Exception: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - Invalid uri 'http://alfresco.domain.com:8080/alfresco/wcs/api/groups/Domain Employees/children?authorityType=USER': escaped absolute path not valid

You can see that I am trying to get members of a group called Domain Employees. Since it uses the port 8080, it is by passing apache. Any ideas why this is happening?

thanks in advance.

I originally thought the URL was being encoded but turns out it was not being encoded. I used stringUtils.urlEncode("Domain Employees") and it worked.

We use webdav for "Edit Online" in MS Office. Files without spaces in them are opened perfectly, the problem is with spaces. Requests for files with spaces in the name always return "Authorization failed" error.

It happens both when the proxied by apache or accessed directly on port 7070:

Any idea?
