Summary0008705: Linking bugnotes (tilde) in bug description makes it crash
Description

I wanted to link to a bugnote from within the description or additional information field.
When I tried to view the bug afterwards, the bug was unreachable, as if the server was offline:

<code>Network Error (tcp_error)

A communication error occurred: ""
The Web Server may be down, too busy, or experiencing other problems preventing it from responding to requests. You may wish to try again at a later time.

For assistance, contact your network support team.</code>

Manually removing the tilde from the database (table mantis_bug_text_table) solved the problem.

Steps To Reproduce

Just add a tile with an existing bugnote number in the description field of the bug and make sure you did not override the default configuration for the bugnote linking-symbol.

I can reproduce it everytime on my server.

TagsNo tags attached.

Actually, bug 0005293 described the proper behaviour (that is , ~nnnn will set a link to a bugnote).

The messages you are seeing aren't from Mantis, but may be from a proxy server in your installation. Could this be the problem?

I can't reproduce this in my test installation.

thraxisp, I just tested it at home, where I am not behind a proxy server and I just get an empty page.

I made a viewer account on my mantis-setup, so you can verify for your own:
http://bugs.altum.be
account: viewer
password: viewer

As soon as this issue is closed here, I will delete that viewer account.

The following may be related. When i am viewing mantis where there is a funny link, it would core dump. Not sure whether this should be handled by PHP or by Mantis.

For the current version of mantis (1.1.1), if i set the following to OFF:

$g_html_make_links = OFF;

It would fix the issue.

Sample:

  1. Create a mantis issue, any issue

  2. Update the description of that issue
    update mantis_bug_text_table set description='{http://xml.apache.org/axis/}stackTrace:java.lang.NullPointerException' where id=?;

  3. View the bug and it would produce a blank page

I can't reproduce this behavior here.

Please upgrade to the latest version of Mantis, and if the problem persists, reopen this with step-by-step instructions to reproduce.
