Re: encodings getting decoded...

Sounds like a browser issue. My browser (Safari) doesn't do that. Are  

you using Internet Explorer? Try another browser.

Also, it's bad practice to have non-URL-safe characters in the URL,  

encoded or not.

Hi,

I have a problem with file name encodings in URL's, and I don't know  

if

it is a browser or a server issue

I have a file like this:

http://test.com/Testfile_%22Test%27s%22.html

but when I try to browse to it, it gets re-written to the following  

and

causes a 404.

http://test.com/Testfile_"Test's".html

Is this something that apache is doing? If so, what should I do to  

make

sure that it does not get decoded like this?

Thanks!
Rick
