Access Denied

Just today, i was given an issue to solve a weird problem to Sitecore Website version 5.3. For some reason it keeps throwing access denied with query string item = /default. I was expecting something like item = /sitecore/content/root.

The issue turn out to be content item being protected. After unprotecting the item and made a publish. the website comes back to life

Query String library

Just want to share or perhaps to remind myself of a very good Query String manipulation library made by Uwe Keim
