Problem
When doing a search in the pagetreesearch macro, the colon ":" in ancestorIds: is encoded to %3A, as in the following screenshot:
Cause
One possible cause is the usage of normal HTTP proxy instead of AJP13.
Resolution
Ensure that Confluence is using the AJP13 protocol by adding the parameter protocol="AJP/1.3" into the <Connector ... /> tag in <confluence-install-directory>/conf/server.xml.
For more information on how to configure proxy for mod_jk, please refer to Using Apache with mod_jk.
