%5C link issue when running in IIS

[thedaftbadger]

Latest version still has issues with inline images not displaying after successfully uploading correctly....
This is when running openKB under IIS with IISNode

Checked permissions for the public folder and they are correct. It seems to be the URL not generating properly.

Seems to be an issue with iisnode (I assume you are running that?): tjanczuk/iisnode#486

Can you try grabbing this PR code and see if it resolves your issue?

Doest seem to work when adding the code to a web.config file for the app in IIS.

<configuration>
	<system.webServer>
		<handlers>
			    <clear />
					<add name="iisnode" path="app.js" verb="*" modules="iisnode" />
					<add name="StaticFile" path="*" verb="*" modules="StaticFileModule,DefaultDocumentModule,DirectoryListingModule" resourceType="Either" requireAccess="Read" />
		</handlers>
		<rewrite>
			<rules>
				<rule name="sendToNode">
					<match url="/*" />
					<action type="Rewrite" url="app.js" />
				</rule>
				<rule name="static">
				<action type="Rewrite" url="www{REQUEST_URI}" />
				</rule>
				<rule name="serve-static" stopProcessing="true">
        <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAny">
          <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" />
          <add input="{REQUEST_URI}" pattern="^/www/$" />
        </conditions>
      </rule>
      <rule name="node">
        <action type="Rewrite" url="app.js" />
      </rule>
			</rules>
		</rewrite>
	</system.webServer>
</configuration>

Hmm. Just double checked and I don't think the PR is merged into the main branch yet and may require manual compilation.

[thedaftbadger]

@mrvautin Just done that ;)

[mrvautin]

To confirm: you grabbed that PR code and ran the build commands in the iisnode readme?

[thedaftbadger]

@mrvautin Yep still had the %5C issue in the file URL. I am giving up and switching back to nginx tomorrow 😋

Just to leave the information for those who will search for solution:

• my PR fixes the issue, but it requires now creating a config file and explicitly defining the new behavior.
  get an unencoded url from Url Rewrite IIS module tjanczuk/iisnode#486 (comment)

• on Azure or other environments that are behind ARR (IIS app request routing) the url gets decoded before it reaches the app itsels, so for now it cannot be fixed

P.S. Do not run nginx on windows :)
