#189 1.9 - html comments from permalink fail w/ certain setting

[John Forsythe]

Problem: Errors when a user makes an html comment directly from a permalink. Comment is not saved.

Happens with the following options set in site.config:

Post Title for Permalink = checked
Use Unique Title = checked
Show comments on PermaLink page = checked

and this maro in a template that draws the calendar: <% radio.weblog.drawcalendar() %>

Temporary fix: Remove the drawcalendar() macro. That calendar code looks complicated if someone can take a look at it. Just enable the above settings to get it to error.

More Info:
newtelligence.DasBlog.Web.Core\WeblogCalendar.cs line 107
"A potentially dangerious Request.Form value was detected from the client...."

CommentView.aspx has validateRequest="false" set in the <@ Page %>

A better option would be to just turn off html comments, rather than lose the calendar, non html comments works, and then so does the calendar.

This is a problem with internal redirects of the post page URL. It's an issue with .NET. The work around is to change the following line in the web.config from "false" to "true":

<configuration>
<system.web>
<pages validateRequest="false" />
</system.web>
</configuration>
