404 error on URL with spaces

External Since: Oct 27, 2005 Posts: 1

Does anyone know if there are any known issues with Server 2003 or IIS that
would prevent a %20 from working as it should in a URL? I am able to view
images whose filenames include spaces on other sites but not my own. Thanks!

Spaces are not valid URLs. Never have been. Just because some software
tolerates it doesn't mean its how it should work. Over the long run, you
should try to avoid using spaces.

Normally though, they should work. Chances are your security setup is not
allowing the recursion required to do that, or blocking one or more
character sequences.
