Morgan, fyi that's apropos of nothing about this issue. %20 escaping the file name spaces is required by RFC 2616. Windows IIS rarely enforces the RFC ;-) so you will see IIS serving *content* with ' ' characters while Apache (correctly) requires %20 symbols. R Bloom, back in London in '00 wrote a very silly little mod_apachecon, if I remember the name, which was a trivial early example of how to write apache 2 filter modules; his module 'fixed' the content on the convention cd, which had ' ' characters in uri links on the cd ;-) obviously authored by a convention company which uses local files/iis. (oh ' ' is valid on your local file:/// requests, another reason authors goof). --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
