Description

[David Edelman]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)
Build Identifier: Mozilla 1.5

I just started using Mozilla 1.5, and while it works
for 80% of the pages and links I go to, about 20% of the
sites/pages I try to visit, I get 'Page not found' where
IE finds them fine.  I retry, and these same pages are
NEVER found.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Click on Link
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
'Page not found'

I tried IE, no problem

Expected Results:  
Should have found the page/site

Do you use a proxy?
Do these URLs of these pages have some special characters in it?

Comment 2

[Malcolm Rowe]

The URL is incorrect. %5C is an encoded backslash (\) which Internet Explorer 
will (incorrectly) convert to a forward-slash (/) before submitting to the 
server. Since there's no file called 'equity\ASSET BASED Valuation Model.DOC', 
the server rightly returns a 404 to Mozilla.

INVALID.

How is this evangelism?  The bug report is invalid.  The file does not appear to
exist anymore anyway.  Could someone please close this bug?
