There wasn't anything to fix was there? The page doesn't exist. Get the same error in firefox.

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

The redirect to http://www.fnfsr.org/site/Welcome.html does not work
correctly due to a malformed URL at http://www.fnfsr.org/

Hello Sam,



I know GlennMcC has his usual busy Monday so may I ask if you
can load:



http://www.fnfsr.org/site/Welcome.html



It is possibly significant that the page that can't be loaded is
http://www.fnfsr.org/%20site/Welcome.html



What that "%20" is doing in there is a mystery to me.



And why it works with other browsers and not with Arachne is possibly
worth investigating.



Yes that is significant, and I agree that it is worth investigating.



BTW, the web page you named with the %20 stuff in it is the web page to which
I was referred when I clicked on the link supplied with my daily email
newsletter "Today on Shenandoah.com".  That link was
"http://shenandoah.com/stories/?headlineID=12277;.



That link does work with other browsers, including even Lynx, but it does not
work with Arachne.
