More details can be found in RFCs 1738 and 2396. In REBOL, (at least in REBOL/View 0.9.8.3.1) you must prevent the %E9 encoding from being decoded too soon. A literal %E9 in a URL gets decoded into é immediately; therefore in literal URLs you must escape the % by using %25, or hide the url inside a string. read http://www.melbourne.net/antonr/r%E9sum%E9.html doesn't work, but read to-url "http://www.melbourne.net/antonr/r%E9sum%E9.html" does, and so does read http://www.melbourne.net/antonr/r%25E9sum%25E9.html. C programmers will recognize this as being similar to backslash encoding in literal strings, where \n means a newline character, \t means tab, so \\ must be used to mean a single \. Non-C-programmers will probably just roll their eyes. - Brian
