HTTP Error message "HTTP Error 404.11 – URL_DOUBLE_ESCAPED" while visiting a page

In the web dashboard of criuise control.net, while viewing a project's build log, I received the error "HTTP Error 404.11 – URL_DOUBLE_ESCAPED". On google, I found the following solution.



  1. Open the file %windir%\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config in any XML editior with windows administrator privileges (Though I used VS2005, even notepad would the trick).
  2. Look for the node and edit it to and then save the file
  3. Open command prompt and go to the %windir%\system32\inetsrv  folder.
  4. Run the command appcmd set config "Default Web Site" /section:system.webServer/Security/requestFiltering -allowDoubleEscaping:True /commit:appHost
