My line would be to say "f**k 'em". If they code CGI scripts with filenames
with spaces in, and arguments with spaces in, and the CGI script can't
handle it, then it's DIRE CGI script coding.
No browser needs to be forgiving for shit like that.
UNLESS - of course, Don - you can find a suitably large site like
microsoft.com, or dilbert.com or zdnet.com, or anything like that,
that exhibits this bad behaviour.
An option to turn it off? That would break pretty much every webserver
on the planet.
Thanks
