%20 is added to the URL when opening

Hi,

I’ve got a problem. We have an application that send mails to users. Those mails contains an hotspot with an URL. Our Notes client is setup to open URL into Internet Explorer (tested with IE 6&7).

The original link inside the hotspot is http://webftp.test.com/upload2.aspx?lg=FR&id=291139M137N137T211C186I182P198N1! 99K179T198Y180H143L187X178C175G172C186Q181Y169E186K186Y115Y167V178I175E189V153G

Link opened into IE:

http://webftp.test.com/upload2.aspx?lg=FR&id=291139M137N137T211C186I182P198N1!%2099K179T198Y180H143L187X178C175G172C186Q181Y169E186K186Y115Y167V178I175E189V153G

Characters %20 have been added into the URL (look at the middle of the string) and the URL does not work!

Do you have any idea where it could come from?

Olivier,

Problem found! The URL contained an exclamation mark and an extra space which was not accepted by IE.
