Getting error "potentially dangerous Request.Form value" on ASP Page on Windows Server 2019
IIS and ASP.net problem.
I have an application that I recently moved from Windows Server 2008 to Windows Server 2019.
Some of the data being saved contains </=, which produces an error: A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client
My page header contains:
<%@ Page Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="WaferRFP.aspx.vb
I have also tried adding:
<pages validateRequest="false"></
to the System.web section of the Web.config file, but I am still getting the error message.
What am I missing?
