Greetings

I was just trying your demo/support forum and tried to search "slashdot" on all forums.
Here at home I am accessing WWW via an http proxy, and when I tried to look at a message
included in the search results I got the message:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While trying to retrieve the URL:
http://www.wwwthreads.org/perl/showpost.pl?Board=wishlist&Number=280&Search=true&Forum=All_Forums&Words=slashdot&Match=Entire
Phrase&Searchpage=0&Limit=25&Old=3weeks

The following error was encountered:

Invalid URL

Some aspect of the requested URL is incorrect. Possible problems:

Missing or incorrect access protocol (should be `http://'' or similar)
Missing hostname
Illegal double-escape in the URL-Path
Illegal character in hostname; underscores are not allowed

I'm seeing this too - using Squid as a web cache which is obviously what you use too. The reason is that there is a space character in "Entire Phrase" in the URL which is what is causing WWWThreads to throw the word "Phrase" onto the next line in your posting. If you manually swap the space for a
then the error is temporarily cured. I don't have a full fix for this right now.
