By design.

Can you give the exact filename you are trying to access via the browser?
And are you trying to retrieve it from a web server via HTTP or what
protocol?

HTTP URLs cannot have spaces in it, so it is translated to %20 by the client
for the server to understand. IIS is not replacing blanks -- it is the
browser that is translating the "space" character into %20 according to the
rules of HTTP.

You will need to correctly encode the URL according to HTTP specification so
that the server finds the filename you are trying to access.

Hi,
When I'm trying to access a file through my browser
(IEv6), the blanks in the filename are replaced by "%20"
symbols and I get an error "The page cannot be found".
How can I solve this???
Any help will be appreciate.
