Data Capture for DHIS2 (Android) Refusing Connection on 2.30

Implementation - Implémentation
11

Hi @ifeanyiokoye,

we have found people not being able to conenct for two reasons:

  1. Tomcat not allowing the use of brackets in expressions from version 8.5 → have a look at this post dhis2 - DHIS 2 web request gives "Invalid character found in the request target. The valid characters are defined in RFC 7230 and RFC 3986" - Webmasters Stack Exchange

  2. The URL not including the complete path. Sometimes the URL used in web redirects you to the log in screen, but that does not mean it is the “server url” and can behave differently in Android. The app needs the whole path to where dhis is installed in your server.

    For example:
    In the browser, the URL https://myserver.org can take you to the log in screen which could look like this: https://myserver.org/dhis/dhis-web-commons/security/login.action

    In this case the app needs https://myserver.org/dhis to succesfully log in.

If none of this works, please share testing credentials in private message so that we can test with you.

Best,
Marta
