Hyphens turn to %2

[lozmatic]

Hi,

I have a folder that looks like this: www.mysite.com/this-folder

When I browse to it I get www.mysite.com/this%2folder

Is this standard behaviour for sites in .NET

Can anything be done to prevent the change?

Thanks,

Loz

I've noticed the same thing on some sites. To prevent it, add a terminal / to the URL, like this:

www.mysite.com/this-folder/

That prevents the behavior you noticed on IIS. What I don't know is why this happens. Something in the IIS <-> ASP.NET interaction tries to encode the dash in a non-slash-terminated URL, but not if there is a terminating slash. It may have something to do with IIS not having to redirect a slash-terminated URL.
