Re: Page redirect problem

Hi,

This code works fine until I reach a document name which has a
"special" character in it such as A010#0704-311005-fhf-01.doc

Rename ist. If you redirect the browser to such a document, its name will be interpreted as Document A010, Anchor 0704...01.doc. The browser won't request the right document.

Another solution (which is more secure, btw): Do redirects to a script or a handler and pass the wanted document as parameter. Then check the path in the script and deliver the file using Response.WriteFile().
