Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club!

Fixed it. :)

As you can see from this code snippet, it was easy as adding yet
another small fix similar to the one I made last September.....

--- in urlstat.c of the SRC code for Arachne's main program core.exe ---

// ========================================================================
//!!glennmcc: Sep 28, 2006 -- //skip '\"'
  if(!strncmp(strptr,"\\\"",2))
   strptr+=2;
//!!glennmcc: end

//!!glennmcc: Apr 19, 2007 -- //skip leading space(s)
//needed to fix problems such as this....
//<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url= site/Welcome.html" />
//__________________________________________^<-- erroneous space
//the resulting URL is ... http://domain.com/%20/site/Welcome.html
//instead of the coorect URL of... http://domain.com/site/Welcome.html
  while(!strncmp(strptr," ",1))
       (strptr++);
//!!glennmcc: end
