Firefox sees "downloads\\SIG" other browsers see "downloads//SIG", how can this be fixed?
Clicking the 'here' link on page http://ipmsuk.co.uk/sigs.php in Firefox gives this error message : Not Found The requested URL /downloads\\SIG Status.pdf was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Clicking the same link using Safari and got onto the page with no problems. The address in Safari shows as http://ipmsuk.co.uk/downloads//SIG%20Status.pdf
The difference is the // instead of \\ before ‘SIG’.

I emailled the website owner, describing the problem, today (2nd March) the problem has gone away, clicking the 'here' link gets the pdf file correctly now.

That was very good work. Well Done.

Thanks, all I did was point out the problem to the website.
Note that Firefox considers backslashes in links as a valid character and escapes them as %5C and doesn't automatically convert them to a forward slash like other browsers do.
