IIS 6 and % characters in a URLHi All,
if you have a file name with a % in iis blocks the request and i cant find where to change it, it's not urlscan but a core option. Any idea where i can change this? On Mon, 6 Jun 2005 05:17:17 -0700, "Sean O'Callaghan" <Sean

So this URL: http://www.sample.com/discount%2005.htm Actually translates to this: http://www.sample.com/discount 05.htm That's not the name of the file so it doesn't get found. Don't use the percent character in file names. Jeff

What i am refering to is if i have two files in the root of the wwwroot folder one called sean%me.doc and one called sean_me.doc the later works but the former does not, IIS is blocking the request and it gets ritten to the http log files. URLSCAN use to block this, but i can;t find a setting in 6.0 to change this.
