Hello, I had a report from my users today that Mozillas editor application substitutes a ~ in an URL with %7E no matter what. True :)
I know that the ~ is not an allowed character in URLs as stated in RFC1738. In RFC2396 though, the ~, amongst other chars, is declared as save and no need to be encoded. You might want to have a look at http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/tilde.html So mozilla encoding ~ as %7E is correct by the book BUT the link doesn't work with all webservers afterwards... Did anyone found a solution to this problem other than configuring every webserver (especially IIS *urghs*) to accept %7E in URLs?
