Using Netscape 6.x browser for Windows2000, if you use a `, ^,  ', etc.

characters within the context of a URL, the browser encodes the character

to a hex value before passing it along to the server, and the page will not
load.

The ` character works using Netscape 4.76.

Example: /cgi-bin/wkp?WSS.DRIVER+WDW.GL.YP`1069

When using Netscape 6.2.1 for Windows2000, or Netscape 6 for Mac OS 9.2 the

` character was converted to %60 which is the hex encoding

Example: /cgi-bin/wkp?WSS.DRIVER+WDW.GL.YP%601069

I understand that special characters need to be encoded in a URL, but it

worked correctly with Netscape 4.76.

Any feedback on a workaround either on the server side (Apache) or browser
side you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
