Heh. Daniel, if the %20 really bugs you, how do you feel about the + sign? I don't think it's part of the HTTP spec per-se but it has been one of the W3C's recommendations: http://www.w3.org/Addressing/URL/4_URI_Recommentations.html#z5 It may not look as nice to you as a clear space but every webserver I've ever dealt with respects the recommendation. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
