The CERN httpd running as a proxy fails on URLs like: gopher://146.138.63.106:70/00%5Cdir%5Cnfs%5Coeweekly%5Coeweek95%5Coe%2395-01.txt When you translate the escaped characters, this is: gopher://146.138.63.106:70/00\dir\nfs\oeweekly\oeweek95\oe#95-01.txt Using Netscape directly (not through a proxy) there is no problem getting this URL. The function "scan" in HTParse.c reads the "#" as a delimiter between the path and the anchor, even though in this case, it's just another character in the path. The #ifdef'ed out OLD_CODE in scan suggests JFG and TBL have struggled with this problem before. Does anyone have a fix for the proxy so it can get gopher files with "#" in the pathname? Or, would it be better to tell the gophermaster at 146.138.63.106 that "#" is a reserved character (in URLs) and shouldn't be used in filenames? Randy Simons Sandia National Laboratories
