huge number of nginx error_log entries: 404 error page by the action "search/autocomplete"

[Ricardo Pinho]

Dear all,

We have detected a huge number of error reports in the nginx error_log files, like the examples below, of the type: "search/autocomplete"

Sometimes they appear isolated in time, but also occur almost simultaneously during the user typing the text, like the examples below:

2021/01/22 16:50:30 "GET /index.php/search/autocomplete?query=VINC0000&repos= HTTP/1.1"

2021/01/22 16:50:30 "GET /index.php/search/autocomplete?query=VINC00000&repos= HTTP/1.1

2021/01/22 16:50:32 "GET /index.php/search/autocomplete?query=VINC00000&repos= HTTP/1.1"

We are using AtoM 2.5.2 on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, installed accordingly to the official accesstomemory manual install procedure.

I've searched for something related and found this:
"Race condition in autocomplete.js"

https://projects.artefactual.com/issues/7198

https://projects.artefactual.com/issues/5596#note-23

For greater context: it turns out this is a result of the recently-filed but age-old minor bug, #7198.

If the user enters data too fast before the slow autocomplete.js finishes, it will throw an error. Had nothing to do with this issue, or with the ES 1.3 upgrade. Sorry for the confusion!

Could this be the problem? Can this be corrected to avoid throwing daily a huge number of errors into the log?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Thanks for bringing this up, Ricardo,

While this is not an actual problem, we agree that a no results query shouldn't return a 404 response code. We have created the following ticket to keep track of the issue:

Best regards,

Radda.

[Ricardo Pinho]

Thank you José for the fast reply.

And for creating a ticket to solve the issue.

Cheers,

Ricardo
