Right, The spaces are auto-converted by MSIE (normal behavior), which is not normally a problem (without Checkpoint, the request works fine.) In fact, our old Raptor Firewall has no problem passing these requests. When Firewall-1 is put in place though, these web pages are inaccessible to my client machines. Is this a bug with Firewall-1, or is there a work around? ~~~John On Wed, May 15, 2002 at 12:14:49PM +0200, Volker Tanger wrote: > John W.
