Title: Underscores???
Post by: Lars on October 04, 2002, 02:39:43 AM

Why do I get this -->  

While trying to retrieve the URL: http://future_lan.subnet.dk/
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

And how do i edit, so i can enter sites with underscores.

They are not legal characters in hostnames, so you would be silly to enter them.

You can read all the detail here:
