Querystring too long in EPiServer Composer

Thu, 14 Oct 2010 14:04:50 GMT

Stumbled upon an issue with EPiServer Composer 4 and that the query string was too long. Not entirely sure how great this fix is out of a security stand point, but if anyone else knows a better solution please let me know.

The error
HTTP Error 404.15 - Not Found
The request filtering module is configured to deny a request where the query string is too long.

The solution

    <system.webServer>
        <security>
            <requestFiltering>
                <requestLimits maxQueryString="2097151" />
            </requestFiltering>
        </security>
</system.webServer>

Recipient source for EPiServerMail using SqlRoleProvider

Out of the box, EPiServerMail doesn't support any automatic selection of recipients. There is an sample source on EPiServerworld but it doesn't contain any Stored procedures nor logic to the implementation.

Named Entities Extension

I came across a problem when sending out mails using EPiServerMail. Since we send out emails on almost 13 different languages, there was a problem with some of the characters. I decided to make an extension method which encodes certain characters to HTML named entities.
