I think URL Scan is rejecting the stuff!!!. Thanks dude.. I did not do the
basic error checking with the LOGS.

Any solution, for URL scan to accept "&" ??? Please update.

Cheers

Well, you need to find out what's in your URLScan.ini configuration that
might be blocking this.

Hi,

I'm looking in a default urlscan.ini file, and it has this in the
[DenyUrlSequences] section:

& ; Don't allow multiple CGI processes to run on a single request

I belive that this is what causes this.
