Interestingly, I found the same problem occurs with Firefox on the Mac, so
this isn't an IE thing. I'll have to investigate why it's a problem, but
I'm glad you found a solution.

FYI, I got a response from someone on comp.lang.java.programmer.
They suggested using the java.net.URI class.
I tried it and it works perfectly.
Thanks,

Laurie:
Did you try these two URLs I put in my email?
Why does this fail:
http://dev.rentclubs.com/~maryanne/images/clubs/Driver/Ping+G2
+Driver.gif
and this one work:
http://dev.rentclubs.com/~maryanne/images/clubs/Driver/Ping%20
G2%20Driver.gi
f
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Neil

Hello:
When I encode the name of an image file to place into a
URL, I use this
code:
URLEncoder.encode(imageName,"UTF-8")
This gives me image names with spaces replaced by + signs
which IE does not
like.
If I change the spaces to %20, the URL works perfectly in IE.
For example, if my image name is Ping G2 Driver.gif,
URLEncoder gives me
this URL:
<http://dev.rentclubs.com/~maryanne/images/clubs/Driver/Ping+G
2+Driver.gif>
http://dev.rentclubs.com/~maryanne/images/clubs/Driver/Ping+G2
+Driver.gif
If I try to load this URL in IE, it gives me a 404 error.
If I use the exact same url with %20, it works just fine:
<http://dev.rentclubs.com/~maryanne/images/clubs/Driver/Ping%2
0G2%20Driver.g
if>
http://dev.rentclubs.com/~maryanne/images/clubs/Driver/Ping%20
G2%20Driver.gi
f
I thought + and %20 were both acceptable for spaces in a URL, but
apparently
IE does not like the plus signs.
Is there a way to force URLEncoder to use %20 instead of + signs?
Nope. '+' is canonical and should work fine. What encoding
are you sending
your pages with? That's the only thing I can think of that
might make a
difference.
