Anton ~
I copy and paste the URL from a file which I have just inspected with a hex=
editor for any unusual characters and it does
not contain anything besides alphas, numbers and six specials: dot, colon,=
slash, question mark, equal sign and percent.
I also noticed what you have found (though w/o tracing): Depending on the=
Rebol version, I either get tons of "connecting to: kelowna.ca"
messages on the console or nothing at all before it finally gives up.
