Problem with a URL
I am trying to open up this url with firefox on openbsd -current, but there is a problem with accessing the site. Is there a problem with doing the lookups with url's that start with dashes: http://-amaya-.deviantart.com/ Thanks, Brian Yahoo! oneSearch: Finally, mobile search that gives answers, not web links. http://mobile.yahoo.com/mobileweb/onesearch?refer=1ONXIC
