Topic: encoded link

Hi

Someone posted a link to a url on my site but it does not recognise the parentheses ( ) as shown here:

http://www.hoval.co.uk/downloads/Pdf/UltraGas%20AM-c%20(400-500).pdf

Any ideas why?

I've been down so long it's beginning to look like up..

Re: encoded link

Ataxy is right. Parentheses are not allowed in URI:s. They should be URL encoded.
