If you use url links that include a plus sign (e.g. http://www.anyoldsite.com/leaflets/leaflet+1+2009.pdf) as a stand alone link then the link works ok.

However if you use it as part of a url link e.g. {url="http://www.anyoldsite.com/leaflets/leaflet+1+2009.pdf"}download latest leaflet{/url} - I used braces instead of square brackets to allow it to display - then the hyperlink replaces the plus signs with spaces, resulting in a 404 error (for result see below and examine link output)

download latest leaflet

Is this a known "feature"?

Thanks

To allow the plus symbol in links, in "inc_func_common.asp", look for the following line (appx 948):
				strArray2(0) = replace(strArray2(0), "+", " ", 1, -1, 1) ' ## filter out +

Change it to say:

				strArray2(0) = replace(strArray2(0), "+", "#043;", 1, -1, 1) ' ## filter out +
