dude, I am with ya now! okay, I tried on my server just now and it work! I made a directory named "a b" inside my $TOMCAT4/webapps/test/ folder and put in it a index.jsp page. Ten I tried "localhost:8080/test/a b/index.jsp" and it worked... so then I said hmmmm wonder if it works through Apache so I did "localhost/test/a b/index.jsp" (notice port 80 now) and it also worked... I wonder what is wrong with yours... :(
I did this on a dev box: win2000, tomcat 4.0.1ish and apache 1.3 B -----Original Message----- From: Brandon Cruz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2002 6:17 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Can a url have a space in it? Thanks for responding Brian, Users are creating folders with spaces in them, not in the parameters, so the url is like this... http://localhost/my folder/index.html tomcat (or the browser) is successfully turning the url into http://localhost/my%20folder/index.html When you click on that url though, you get a 404 error. -----Original Message----- From: Brian Adams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2002 6:08 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Can a url have a space in it? if it is in your URL then it should %20 that represents a space in a string so if uRL was http:/localhost/servlet/test?file=my%20documents then when your do : String paramV = request.getParameter("file"); out.println("File Path is: " + paramV); this should make paramV = "my documents" is this what your looking for? B Anyone correct me if I am wrong please. -----Original Message----- From: Brandon Cruz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2002 5:31 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Can a url have a space in it? When using tomcat 3.2.4, is it invalid to create a folder called "/my folder"? It looks like tomcat turns the url into "my%folder", which I thought should work, but it can't find any files in this directory. Is this correct, is there something I can do to allow tomcat to find files in a directory with a space in it?
