Apache quirkyness

Wasn't there an Web Server forum? I can't seem to find it?
Anyways, this is a really strange problem...but:
I've been working on a program some some time and just recently got to a section which totally choked...
Basically, there was a JavaScript window.open() but the path was in the format:
The above URL request on my local server chokes...I'm using Ubuntu 6.10
My client was using RedHat but it worked fine on his machine...
After countless hours of tinkering and searching thousands of lines of javascript I finally located the offending line and change the above from what it was, to this:
That fixed the problem and I haven't heard anything since 
But I'm stumped, other than maybe Apache specifics or OS differences such as RedHat or Gentoo, etc...maybe Window/Linux as well...there is nothing I can think of which would allow this problem to just kinda work on his machine and yet on mine, the URL was naturally invalid.
Whats really weird, is it worked on several other client machines as well, scattered around the world, so very different hosting services, setups, etc...
Mod_rewrite was the first thing I looked for, but there was nothing of the kind, so what else should I be investigating?
