Re: Curious

Brian,

Yep...saw it, no problem. 

As I said before, the underscores that I have a problem with are not in
filename. 

e.g.  .http://www.mypictures.com/my_pictures/blah.gif  gets me an error 404
       .http://www.my_pictures.com/pictures/blah.gif  gets me an error 404
       .http://www.mypictures.com/pictures/my_blah.gif will work

I hesitate to post the URL in question, because it was obviously not
intended for the whole world to see, but once I just removed the underscore
from the hostname, it connected just fine.

All this is wonderful, except that, I'm sure the average surfer our there,
would just moved on. You'll never seen an underscore in a URL of mine.

Anyway...thanks for all the suggestions...I appreciate everyone's input. 

Kym
