URL is not according to RFC I guess with all the dashes, and LXer does only do RFC-compliant URL's, Bob told me. To prevent 'smart kids' (yeah, I know you are reading, you know who you are!) from 'halting' LXer.

So I used bit.ly to resolve the issue, thanks for reporting.

Lxer comment processor is inserting a space (or some invalid html char) before % sign in a URL

The link is in the body of the "Page Not Found" under "Search Results" section. It will lead you to the article.

Hmm, the link seems to be working for me just fine. Anyone else have issues pulling up the page?

@Scott,

I had the issue before Hans fixed it, it is now working.

But Lxer URL processor has a problem with URLs that have some special characters. It always inserts a Blank/Space before %hex code when a UARL is copied form another page. I believe if that space is not inserted, the links would work.
