[arachne] SeaMonkey Can't Either!Re: Why can't Arachne find this web site?

Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club!

I've known for some time that Arachne could not handles URLs that are coded in ASCII ... i.e. %20 or any other such thing.

And yes, other browers I've known and used CAN read the ASCII and ask a DNS server nicely for a route to the goal.

However, this getting hung up on one site is a waste of time and effort, since the real need is to figure out what/how on modification so that Arachne can eventually ingest ASCII and spit out something useful to DNS navigation.

And the website referenced herein? With that mistake of a space in the name? SeaMonkey can't access *that* particular site either, because according to the resident server the page does not exist.

Soooooooooooooooo .... forget about specifics and get down to basics: Is there a way someone can come up with to have Arachne read ASCII notation (% percentage sign followed by numeric code) and translate/use the plain text equivalent?

Now quit yelling at each other! The weather alone is enough to make most of us crazy and a calm interlude should be what Arachnecentric stuff results in. <GGGGGGGGGGGGGG>

Correction, Ron. Arachne can NOT handle the URL
http://www.fnfsr.org/%20site/Welcome.html which is what the user
is redirected to when connecting to that other site.

The corrected URL, namely http://www.fnfsr.org/site/Welcome.html
loads OK with Arachne.
