Severity
Warning
Message
This web application contains a link to an invalid URL according to the Request for Comments (RFC) 3986 and 3987 guidelines (File: [FILE_NAME], Link: [LINK]).
Background
When a URL is entered in the address bar, Internet Explorer 10 and later parse it to verify that it conforms to the RFC guidelines. Centralized URL (CURL) parsing assists in the prevention of malformed URLs that fool Internet Explorer. If the URL does not pass the verification process, Internet Explorer 11 and later allows the web application to appear but restricts its functionality. This might cause the web application to behave unexpectedly.
Resolution
The web application should be re-engineered so that all URLs conform to the RFC 3986 and 3987 guidelines.
