Web Server: '404 Not Found' on root entry

Post by badbob001 »

My Everything server is indexing a network share (\\servername\sharename). When I view the Web Server page (http://servername:8023), it shows a single folder for \\servername\sharename, as expected. But if I click it, I get '404 Not Found'.

The link of that folder is:
http://servername:8023/%5Cservername/sharename

To make it work, add another %5C:
http://servername:8023/%5C%5Cservername/sharename

My guess is that there is code that is incorrectly interpreting the \\ as an escaped-\.

Thank you for the bug report badbob001,

This is a bug with Everything 1.5.
Everything is incorrectly removing the \ prefix when combining the name with the parent folder. (the parent folder is empty in this case)

I'll have this fixed in the next alpha update.
