Attributes and Elements

The following sections describe attributes, child elements, and parent elements.

Attributes

None.

Child Elements

None.

Parent Elements

Element	Description
<schemeSettings> Element (Uri Settings)	Specifies how a Uri will be parsed for specific schemes.

Remarks

By default, the System.Uri class un-escapes percent encoded path delimiters before executing path compression. This was implemented as a security mechanism against attacks like the following:

https://www.contoso.com/..%2F..%2F/Windows/System32/cmd.exe?/c+dir+c:\\

If this URI gets passed down to modules not handling percent encoded characters correctly, it could result in the following command being executed by the server:

c:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c dir c:\

For this reason, System.Uri class first un-escapes path delimiters and then applies path compression. The result of passing the malicious URL above to System.Uri class constructor results in the following URI:

https://www.microsoft.com/Windows/System32/cmd.exe?/c+dir+c:\\

This default behavior can be modified to not un-escape percent encoded path delimiters using the schemeSettings configuration option for a specific scheme.

Configuration Files

This element can be used in the application configuration file or the machine configuration file (Machine.config).

Example

The following code example shows a configuration used by the Uri class that clears all scheme settings and then adds support for not escaping percent-encoded path delimiters for the http scheme.

<configuration>
  <uri>
    <schemeSettings>
      <clear/>
      <add name="http" genericUriParserOptions="DontUnescapePathDotsAndSlashes"/>
    </schemeSettings>
  </uri>
</configuration>
