That was my thought as well, some escape code was throwing the PC for a loop with a poorly formed URL. Anyone with deeper insight feel free to chime in.

Hi Shane,

It sounds like a problem we’re having here were DSpace is causing some characters to become encoded ( %3A = : ), so your URL is becoming http%3A//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0 instead of http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0. DSpace encodes characters to their escape characters and I’ve not been able to figure out myself how to stop it, but my advanced search encodes (‘s, )’s and %’s to %28, %29 and %25 respectively. I know that the code for my problem is in the URLencode portion of the JSPs, but I couldn’t tell you why you are having that issue.

Subject: [Dspace-tech] Creative Commons issues EVEN AFTER recent fixes

One of the individuals who deposits documents into our IR is continuining to have issues with the Creative Commons portion of the process. When the individual clicks on the "proceed" link, the iFrame goes blank and the page remains static. Only by skipping the creative commons process with the "Skip" button is the user able to get to the normal license. The user is using a PC, and we have tried both Firefox and IE.

However, I do not run into this problem on my Mac. I have tried logging into the users account on my Mac, and into my account on the users PC, but the problem appears to be related to the PC itself. I tried a public PC in our library and ran into the same issue.

In IE, I am able to generate an error that reads:

http://u2.gmu.edu:8080/dspace/submit/cc-license.jsp?license_url=http%3A//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0

The only strange thing I have noticed is the http%3A// in the URL, but I'm unable to determine where that URL comes from and why it wouldn't cause an issue on the Mac.

Ideas?
