Okay, first I upgraded my local testing site to Xar 1.0.2 to have the most 
current code.  (I lack ssh access to my website, and I really hate debugging 
over FTP.)  I dug a little deeper and noticed some things.  For reference, the 
URL I am trying to load is: 
 
http://xaraya.lan/articles/This_is_a_%3F_test. 
 
I get the "Invalid Article ID" error when I have the following values set in 
config.system.php: 
 
    $systemConfiguration['Exception.EnablePHPErrorHandler'] = false; 
    $systemConfiguration['Exception.ErrorLevel'] = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE; 
 
Changing them to their defaults ('false' and 'E_ALL' respectively, no quotes) I 
get the following System Error notice: 
 
    /path/to/my/xaraya/modules/articles/xaruserapi/decode_shorturl.php (Line: 
330) Undefined offset: 0 
 
Here is the line in context: 
 
327            case 'Ignore': 
328            default: 
329                // Just use the first one that came back 
330                $theArticle = $articles[0]; 
 
If I 'print_r($params)' at the top of decode_shorturl(), I see that this 
function is being called three times in the process of loading the page.  The 
first time the value is: 
 
    Array 
    ( 
        [0] => articles 
        [1] => This_is_a_ 
    ) 
 
And the other two times: 
 
    Array 
    ( 
        [0] => articles 
        [1] => This_is_a_%3F_test. 
    ) 
 
 
That led me to investigate the $_SERVER array.  Here are some interesting 
values: 
 
    [REDIRECT_QUERY_STRING] => _test. 
    [REDIRECT_URL] => /articles/This_is_a_?_test. 
    [REQUEST_METHOD] => GET 
    [QUERY_STRING] => _test. 
    [REQUEST_URI] => /articles/This_is_a_%3F_test. 
    [PATH_INFO] => /articles/This_is_a_ 
    [PATH_TRANSLATED] => /path/to/my/xaraya/_/articles/This_is_a_ 
    [PHP_SELF] => /index.php/articles/This_is_a_ 
    [argv] => Array 
        ( 
            [0] => _test. 
        ) 
 
    [argc] => 1 
 
 
So even though the question-mark is represented as '%3F', Apache is still 
interpreting it as the start of a list of GET parameters.  I'm running Apache 
2.0.55-r1 on my Gentoo laptop.  My web host is running Apache 1.3.34 on *nix. 
 
I don't have time to dig farther at the moment.  Any ideas?
