She looked for a URL exactly as you have written it, above. And it isn't there. Hence the "not found" screen. > The corrected URL, namely http://www.fnfsr.org/site/Welcome.html > loads OK with Arachne. Perzackly ! :) Because THAT URL does exist. The other one doesn't, therefore couldn't be found. > We are led to believe that other browsers can load the site when > fed with the URL that contains the "%20" but obviously Arachne > can NOT do so. Now we are getting to the point. :) We must assume that other browsers may be making allowances for mistypings - perhaps a doubtful "enhancement", which assumes that there aren't real URLs that legitimately include spaces. > Since Arachne can NOT handle this type of URL, and it is said > that other browsers can, then I would say we have a problem. This particular "type" of URL happens to be, at its kindest, a typo. Should Arachne really be assuming that what the writer REALLY meant was something other than what was written ? I agree it can be irritating, but does it happen very often ?
