Any ideas? > I notice that LOAD seems to be doing something interesting with that percent-escaped character at the end, and possibly transforming it into a character that's not legal for a URL (prematurely?). >> read to-url "http://slovnik.nettown.cz/?co=naslepo&kde=A-%C8"; == {<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 3.2 final//en"> <!-- Copyright (C) 2000 Petr Kùra, [EMAIL PROTECTED] All rights reserved... >> read load "http://slovnik.nettown.cz/?co=naslepo&kde=A-%C8"; ** User Error: URL error: http://slovnik.nettown.cz/?co=naslepo&kde=A-È ** Near: read load "http://slovnik.nettown.cz/?co=naslepo&kde=A-%C8"; Notice that the message is User Error: URL error: ... and not Syntax Error: Invalid url ... as in >> read load "http://%"; ** Syntax Error: Invalid url -- http://% ** Near: (line 1) http://% implying to my eye that LOAD was happy but the result wasn't usable by READ. When I say something like >> gorp: "http://%77%77%77.rebol%2ecom/"; == "http://%77%77%77.rebol%2ecom/"; >> load gorp == http://www.rebol.com/ LOAD seems to want to unescape the string. That's OK in this case, since all of the escaped characters are actually valid in URLs, but in the case of >> bletch: "http://slovnik.nettown.cz/?co=naslepo&kde=A-%C8"; == "http://slovnik.nettown.cz/?co=naslepo&kde=A-%C8"; >> load bletch == http://slovnik.nettown.cz/?co=naslepo&kde=A-È the (premature) unescaping of "%C8" back to the high-bit-on accented-E character may be the source of grief when that literal character is deemed invalid for use in a URL.
