Your question would have been a lot more helpful to me if you
had included the exact text of the exception.  It might not mean
anything to you, but it's printed out for a reason.

Without that, all I can give you is my best guess.

If you read the RFC for URIs, located at:
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt
you will find sections 2.2 (Reserved Characters), 2.3 (Unreserved
Characters), and 2.4 (Escape Sequences) will let you know exactly
which characters are legal in a URL.

In particular, slightly further down the page, it says:
> Other characters are excluded because gateways and other
> transport agents are known to sometimes modify such characters,
> or they are used as delimiters.
> 
> unwise = "{" | "}" | "|" | "\" | "^" | "[" | "]" | "`"
> 
> Data corresponding to excluded characters must be escaped in
> order to be properly represented within a URI.

So, you'll need to turn those "|"s into "%7C"s for your URL to
be valid.  If you do that, and it still fails, email the exception
to me (or the list), and we'll see if we can give you more specific
advice.

Good luck,
Blake.
