URL encoding, %2E, IE and Firefox	by rorajoey	2009-05-08 14:14:05
I'm trying to encode a URL so it can include punctuation. For example: http://www.testsite.com/search?key=Mr%2E%20Coffee Firefox is unable to load the page; it thinks the page doesn't exist because it's converting the %2E to a dot/period/fullstop before loading the page. IE is able to load the page properly, and it uses "Mr. Coffee" as a search key on the page in question, as it was designed. Is there any kind of workaround to make this work in Firefox?

Well. The webserver gives out the 404 errors. ;-P	by aix tom	2009-05-08 16:05:04
Firefox isn't converting anything either	by hobbs	2009-05-08 14:27:56
I wonder where the conversion happens then.	by rorajoey	2009-05-08 15:13:49
Just for fun, have you set the user-agent to IE?	by PeKaJe	2009-05-08 15:33:55
