Hi,

I've asked this issue recently in other groups but it seems like IIS6
is making URL substitution on special characters in IE6.

What I mean is that the URL (example) http://www.mysite.com/new-folder
is changed into http://www.mysite.com/new%2Dfolder
Only when I ad the / ath the end of the address like
http://www.mysite.com/new-folder/ the URL substitution isn't carried
out.

Programmers at the company I work for asks me to solve this issue but
I'm lost right now. This issue won't be carried out on IIS5 systems.

IE and Firefox gives the same result.

Can someone help me out?

Thank you for the support given.

Regards,

Jeroen

Hello,

I explain this in this article:

"IIS 6.0 encodes certain characters in a redirection"
http://www.gafvert.info/notes/IIS6EncodesCharactersRedirect.htm

It should not be of any problem because %2D and - should be treated equally.
