Hello folks, Some web servers accept (ignore) double slashes in URL paths (e.g. http://www.rebol.com//some//path), others don't. On Mirror Image's server, I found a redirect to such a path (look below), and Mirror Image's server is among those who don't accept it. This causes rebol not to get to the correct URL. All browsers seem to handle this (tested MSIE, Netscape4.76, Netscape6.2, Opera). Does anyone know a workaround for it that doesn't imply re-writing 'read?
Here's from my console session: >> trace/net on >> t: open http://www.mirror-image.com/news/frame_latest.cfm?news_item_id=339 URL Parse: none none www.mirror-image.com none news/ frame_latest.cfm?news_item_id=3 39 Net-log: ["Opening tcp for" HTTP] connecting to: www.mirror-image.com Net-log: {GET /news/frame_latest.cfm?news_item_id=339 HTTP/1.0 Accept: */* Connection: close User-Agent: 007.
