HTTP server input error. Exception occured : This name may not contain the '$' character:

OL Connect Professional Workflow

Hello,

I have a weird issue. We have a solution runnning in production at a customer using version 8.3.1.10044 of the workflow modul working perfectly accepting input request coming from asp.net formular send to the HTTP server input component.

I’m now running some tests in our lab that is running version 8.6.1.1.11588 of the Workflow modul using the exact same configuration as in the production environment, but each time I send the asp.net formular Against the HTTP server input component. I get an internal error message on my websit with http error 500 and I get an “W2600: Exception occured : This name may not contain the ‘$’ character” within the service console of the http/soap component.

I do know that the asp.net XML postback format is a little weird, because I had to do a search and replace of the $ character in the workflow to make it a valid XML file before sending it to the PlanetPress connect component. It looks like there was a change to the http input component, so you’re now checking if the component receives af valid XML format…

Try this:

Acces the Workflow Preferences >Plug-in > HTTP Server Input 1

Enable “Use PHP Arrays” and click OK. Then send the configuration to local service

Restart the Messenger 8 service

Also check that the MIMIE type in your HTTP Server Input plugin is set up correctly.

I tried your suggestion, but it did not resolve the issue. Any other ideas…?
