Details

Granted, it's slightly brain-dead to use filenames containing #-marks in the URL
scheme of things. However, we have some and accessing them through the browser
does not work.

(At least Windows and Linux have no problems working with files containing the
hash mark)

example: <img src="A2_##_##.jpg">

(Oddly, <img src="A2_&#035;&#035;_&#035;&#035;.jpg"> doesn't work either)
->Networking, probably invalid.

You're escaping the #-signs the wrong way :) Try URL-encoding them (%-hex, see 
RFC 2396) and that should work, I think; unencoded, they signal the start of the 
fragment identifier portion of the URL reference, which is throwing things off.

You're right: "A2_%23%23_%23%23.jpg" is the correct way to reference it (and it
works). It seemed like a bug because IE6 didn't choke on it. IE5, incidentally,
does.
OK. Resolving INVALID, then.
