How to allow special characters in URL or query string
I am using asp.net 4.0 with Sql server. I have an requirement to pass special characters in URL query string. for example my URL need to be like http://mysite.com/default.aspx?a=xyx(abc) In the above URL my special character is "(" and ")". While development I have not faced any issue but as I uploaded the files to serve it start giving error 404 (page not found) where ever I have use "(" or ")" special characters. When I started searching I have tried many solutions. but nothing works for me. Then on some site some one has sugested to check IIS log. When I checked the log I found that I have Installed Microsoft URL Scan 3.1 on my server which is filtering the URL. So, I need to allow "(" and ")" on my server so, I decided to allow there characters in my URL. So, to add exception to URL Scan 3.1 you need to open urlscan.ini which you can find in "%windir%\system32\inetsrv\urlscan\" You can use 2 section...
