Description Nick Clemens 2017-04-26 16:14:00 UTC
This is not ideal, long queries can cause broken links and is a very messy link.

report/guided_reports.pl

line 816:
my $sql    = $input->param('sql');  # FIXME: use sql from saved report ID#, not new user-supplied SQL!

We use execute_query, so input is sanitized but links look awful

Resultant URI
Comment 3 Barton Chittenden 2017-07-31 12:52:23 UTC
A report with a very long query cannot be downloaded as CSV, giving the error 'Request-URI Too Long'. I'm escalating the priority to normal because this is no longer simply a cosmetic issue; it affects the operation of koha itself.

See the attached sql and uri files.

To replicate:

1) Paste the contents of the attached 'bug-18497-sql.sql' into a report.
2) Save and run the report
3) On the report page, click Download and select 'Comma separated text'
4) The resulting URI is as contained in 'bug-18497-uri.txt' (adjusting for server name), and gives the error message

    Request-URI Too Long

    The requested URL's length exceeds the capacity limit for this server.

a sub to be reused when downloading

2 - Try to download, erk!
3 - Apply patch
4 - Run report, results hould not have changed
5 - Try to download, success!
6 - Ensure reports work as before

Comment 8 Julian Maurice 2018-01-30 14:11:55 UTC
This works, but it generates new HTML validation errors:

> Error: Bad value
> /cgi-bin/koha/reports/guided_reports.pl?reports=1&phase=Export&format=csv&report_id=2&reportname=Test↩                &sql_params=foo↩            
> for attribute href on element a: Tab, new line or carriage return found.

Please fix this.

Also, please fix the commit message:
- "Bug XXXXX -" should be "Bug XXXXX:" according to https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Commit_messages
- Bug's URL should be removed (it's wrong)
