Using colons in a URL
Posted: Mon Mar 20, 2006 10:14 am
Hi, guys.
I'm designing a wiki-type site at the moment but have run into a problem with a URL format I would like to use. Basically I would like to use colons in the URL but the server keeps throwing out a 403 (forbidden) page.
Is there a way around this using .htaccess?
An example URL would be....
www.somesite.foo/wiki/Discuss:Topic
The URL gets bounced transparently to a single template PHP file (which works fine without the colon)....
www.somesite.foo/wiki_template.php?requ ... cuss:Topic
Any ideas?
Thanks,
