You (Randy Simons) write: >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? Yes, definitely. Meanwhile, I've seen some problems reported with the way the CERN proxy handles URLs. The problem is that software tends to escape and unescape special characters in URLs; the proxy software appears to do this in places, causing URLs with special characters in their path component to be seen as identical to URLs in which these special characters are escaped. The standard does not guarantee this identity. If you want to, I can probably look up the details. -- Reinier Post reinpost@win.tue.nl a.k.a. <A HREF="http://www.win.tue.nl/win/cs/is/reinpost/">me</A> [LINK] [LINK] [LINK] [LINK] [LINK] [LINK] [LINK] [LINK] [LINK] [LINK] [LINK]
