    Hello,

    I am using Windows Server 2019 with all the current updates. It does not have .net Framework 5.0 installed. I trying to move to this new server. I cannot get the btnet service to work.

    If I got to the site https://myhost/mysite&username=UN&password=x&bugid=1234&comment=TestMessage

    I am successful and no problem.

    The btnet console and service get a 500 error.

    The SQL string connection is working the username and password works just like it should, works on the old server.

    btnet_service.exe can use IIS's Windows security, but there's a workaround if you use Windows security: You can change the website so that insert_bug.aspx ONLY is configured not to use windows security. That is, you can set the security at the level of a page, not just at the level of a virtual directory.

    Maybe it has something to do with this but I do not know how to fix it.

    I cannot see anything in my logs that says Why it having the 500 error

    This is just from googling the error message:

    https://stackoverflow.com/questions/81991/a-potentially-dangerous-request-form-value-was-detected-from-the-client

    Sorry, I'm not planning on investigating or fixing this.

      That is great thank you. It wasn't anything that I could have obviously fixed. I have been testing and retrying settings for 4 days now. Maybe I can figure something else out.
