[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-5143) "java.lang.IllegalStateException: Parameters processing failed" for IE browser only

[Melloware Inc (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-5143?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12705289#comment-12705289 ] 

Melloware Inc commented on AS7-5143:
------------------------------------

The issue with parsing parameters can be found on line 333 of jbossweb 7.0.16:

parseFailed = true;
continue;
// invalid chunk – it’s better to ignore

So you can see they even had a comment saying its better to ignore, but flag the parsing as failed which later translates to an exception being thrown.

Older code even had this (which is exactly what we are seeing):

// No name eg ..&=xx&… will trigger this
…
msg.append(“ignored.”);
log.warn(msg);
continue;
// invalid chunk – it’s better to ignore

So you can see it was added and the comment remains.
