When I access the page: http://www.gs.fudan.edu.cn/daf/, and click one of the
links on this page, it says: "404 not found".

However, if I browse the page with IE, and DO can click those pages, and access
those pages.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Visit: http://www.gs.fudan.edu.cn/daf/
2. Click one of the links in that page
3. Then, "404 not found" error appears. 
4. Use IE, to repeat the same procedure, the page can be shown.

Actual Results:  
"404 not found" error appears.
The URLs in the links are incorrect.  They have some backslashes (\) where
forward slashes (/) are intended.  If the URLs are corrected, the pages load. 
This is another case where IE's lax and "helpful" interpretation of malformed
content obscures errors.
