Corpse examination error

This body seems to be at most half a year old. The cause of death seems to be an attack by %3CCANTR+REPLACE+NAME%3Danimal_lion_o%3E.

Looks like a typo to me. (Should be CANTR instead of CCANTR), or maybe some other error.

But there is also a %3D in there, so I'm assuming 3D and 3C are hexadecimal values rather than a 3 and a letter. The error itself has been reported plenty of times. I'm suspecting it might not do the query that fetches the contents of the animal tag.

+1

Oh sorry, I shouldn't make a bad example of making +1 threads, but it feels really good. Thanks psychowico. :)

And just for reference, the %A1 codes are urlencoded special characters. They are used so that web browsers can handle special characters. Example:

Code: Select all

<?php
$string_of_special_characters = " ! \" # ¤ % & / () = ? < > | - + ´ ` ^ ¨ ~ * ";
echo urlencode($string_of_special_characters); //Print the string with urlencoding
?>

This will print (spaces become '+'):

+%21+%22+%23+%C2%A4+%25+%26+%2F+%28%29+%3D+%3F+%3C+%3E+%7C+-+%2B+%C2%B4+%60+%5E+%C2%A8+%7E+%2A+

Sorry for geek-rant. :p
