Hi,

I seem to have discovered a bug; AW does not seem to handle URLs correctly
that have %20 after the argument prefix, for example I was deploying a set
of adverts for evo:

create picture
awportals.com/eclipse/ads/?place=awteen_0n_1950w&name=ObjectYard%212
update=7200; activate url www.awportals.com/eclipse/

The picture just appears white... where as:

create picture
awportals.com/eclipse/ads/?place=awteen_0n_1950w&name=ObjectYard2
update=7200; activate url www.awportals.com/eclipse/

Works fine.

Im guessing AW is trying to save it, failing misserably, and not pushing out
an error message? Posted to community and worldbuilders because its bound to
screw up some other ad-rotators as well.

Futhermore, it looks like there is a problem when loading the new filetypes
(GIF, PNG etc) from such a script, JPGs work fine.

[View Quote] The browser assumes the file is a jpeg one because it has no explicit extension.
It has nothing wrong with the escaped characters - they are passed properly.

The web browser is set to give the appropriate MIME type though?

Its definately sending a content type of image/gif - or is mime type
ignored?

[View Quote] My bad - I meant the PHP script I use is set to send the appropriate MIME
type.
