Period in directory name

Hello,

Do you have URLScan installed on this server? This tool can cause this
behavior.

This KB Article explains how to configure URLScan:

Hi:

As Jeff and Kristofer suggested, it had to do with URLScan. The client
computer had it installed and I did not. After installing URLScan I had the
same issue. The I set AllowDotInPath=1 and now it is working again.

Thank you very much.
