Only the longer URL works for me, too. I'm using Netscape
Communicator v4.05 on Windows 95 & NT.
Can we please have the URLs fixed so that as many people as
possible can access the files without having to manually edit URLs.
I believe the longer URL works with current versions of both
Netscape and Microsoft IE.
I'm not over concerned about what standards claim to be correct,
just that it works. (This is known as "de-facto standardization".
Regardless of your attitude on "browser wars", you have to accept
that Netscape and IE between them have the vast majority of the
market!)
