Need to convert "#" to "%23" when a # is in the URL path. Example> http://server.net/cgi-bin/application/app_1.pl?en=PROJECT_Name&pkn=20080526+-+Defect+#123456 This example shows in the http URL address just fine but beacuse of the "#" is the first character in the defect sub-folder name the actual page is not found because everything at the "#" is dropped. How can I configure Apache to change the "#" in a path to its ascii equivalent ( %23 ) ? If I manually change it in the URL address line the page is displayed just fine showing the folder content. Example2> http://server.net/cgi-bin/application/app_1.pl?en=PROJECT_Name&pkn=20080526+-+Defect+%23123456 please advise Phil -- " The fundamental principle here is that the justification for a physical concept lies exclusively in its clear an unambiguous relation to the facts it can be experienced" AE Please Feed and Educate the Children... it's the least any of us can do. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
