HTTP Web Server: Item Not Found Exception
Synopsis
I access as an user a Domino-based web, can make attachments, but if I
attach a file with filename containing the "%" character (or anybody
else do it) I can´t download it (eg. file%20name), I get a "HTTP Web
Server: Item Not Found Exception" even if I edit the filename URL to use
%25 instead of "%" character.
Do you know if Lotus Domino has an internal ID for the file that can
be used to retrieve the file without using the filename? (to avoid
using "$File/file%20name")
Any help woud be appreciated.

It seems to be a browser problem which occurs when a file name is typed with spaces.
eg. file name 20
IE by default defines the space as % which might give problems while accessing such files.
Solution is to type the names with characters within the name and avoid leaving space in the name.
eg. file-name-20 or file_name_20
This will open the exact attachment and will not show the percentage error message.
