SharePoint document library properties–“The request was rejected by the HTTP filter”

I published a SharePoint site today through TMG.  Everything looked great until you went to view/edit the properties of a document in a document library.  I got the following error:

“Error Code: 500 Internal Server Error. The request was rejected by the HTTP filter. Contact the server administrator. (12217) “


Trying the same actions on any other list/library worked fine; just not for a document library. 

The problem turned out to be related to HTTP filtering in TMG. 

To fix the issue, Open the properties of the firewall policy.  Click Filtering > Configure HTTP under the Traffic tab

Uncheck Verify normalization.


Save and apply changes and you should be all set.

SharePoint 2013 and InfoPath 2013 - Creating Web Enabled Forms

Image
In this article, you will learn how to create web enabled InfoPath forms. InfoPath is an information gathering tool and is used to create XML forms. People have always been trying to come up with a standard for creating electronic forms. Before InfoPath, companies created electronic forms in different formats. InfoPath has helped companies to adhere to a standard. Coding XML manually may not be an interesting job but creating XML forms with InfoPath has really made this job quite easier. All clients must have InfoPath installed on their machines in order to open the forms. It could be a problem for smaller companies to provide InfoPath client to all the users. What can be the solution then? Solution is to create web enabled forms that can be opened in web browser without having to install InfoPath client on user machines. Following is a step-by-step guide that will show you how to create and deploy a web enabled form: 1.Open InfoPath (Start > All Programs > Microsoft Offic...

MORE CACHE HOSTS ARE RUNNING IN THIS DEPLOYMENT THAN ARE REGISTERED WITH SHAREPOINT

Image
So, I’ve just installed SharePoint Foundation 2013 on a clean Windows 2012 server yet the Health Analyzer is complaining about a few things.  I’ll work my way through fixing them and the first one I’ll tackle is “More Cache hosts are running in this deployment than are registered with SharePoint”. The clue for fixing this one is in the explanation: “This operation uses the SharePoint Administration service (spadminV4), which could not be contacted”.  I don’t know why this is stopped by default but starting the service (and setting it to automatic) has stopped this being flagged as a problem. More details of the Windows Server AppFabric Caching features can be found here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff383731(v=azure.10).aspx
