In Mozilla it is transferred as http://*********/.%5CDaly-SMTP-2003-3-26-17-11-57%5CDaly-SMTP.htm however in IE6.0.28 it is transferred as http://*********/Daly-SMTP-2003-3-26-17-11-57/Daly-SMTP.htm Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
INVALID http://*********/.\Daly-SMTP-2003-3-26-17-11-57\Daly-SMTP.htm is the link you are clicking and mozilla is correctly changing the special char "\" into %5C.
Why does this work in IE6. We have reported this to WatchGuard as well. The actual source code used in the web page is as follows <html><head><title>Watchguard Report's Main Menu</title></head> <body><table><font size=2><center><table border=1 width=100% cellspacing=0 cellpadding=5 > <tr BGCOLOR="#FF0000"><td COLSPAN=3 ROWSPAN=1><font COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial"><LEFT><b>Report List</b></LEFT></td></tr> <tr><td align=left><b>Report Name</b></td> <td align=left><b>Time Created</b></td> <td align=left><b>Link</b></td></tr> <tr><td>Daly-SMTP</td><td>03/26/2003 17:11:57</td><td><a HREF=.\Daly-SMTP-2003-3-26-17-11-57\Daly-SMTP.htm target=_top>Report</a></td></tr> </table></body></html> Thanks for the help.
cause microsoft is actually editing the "\"'s to "/"'s but as far as I recally something\whatever.html could be a vailed file name over the http protocol. So that would mean if you tried to go to http://mymadeupserver.com/mydir/something\whatever.html on IE 6 then you would get a 404 error because it would incorrectly modify the link to http://mymadeupserver.com/mydir/something/whatever.html. This is an error in Watchguard Report and IE 6 as far as I am consenerd someone please feel free to correct me.
