Crash with non integer page

[brauliobo]

  invalid value for Integer(): "3index.php"
  vendor/plugins/will_paginate/lib/will_paginate/page_number.rb:16:in `initialize'

The exception is deliberate since "3index.php" is an invalid page number. Your site seems to be probed by a bot that's generating invalid requests. will_paginate configures Rails in production to serve 404 pages for these exceptions. You can also rescue WillPaginate::InvalidPage in your controllers to define your own handling, like ignoring them.

@mislav thanks, I'll treat the exceptions.

Hey @mislav, I'm still seeing these errors coming through via Rollbar. You mentioned above that will_paginate should throw a WillPaginate::InvalidPage error, but I'm not seeing that. I'm getting ArgumentError: invalid value for Integer(): "10(('.,." for the URL https://www.cardgnome.com/blog?page=10((%27.,.. This seems to be happening for any page param that begins with a number but isn't a valid integer (e.g. 10((%27.,., 2%22, 2212.1, etc.). These are all coming from probing bots, and I'd like them to just be handled as 404s.
