  Webdav - File names with + symbol not working correctly when copied to webdav mapped network drive Reply Contact OK I'm having a weird problem that I would like to know if anyone else is experiencing. Windows 2008 server (RTM any version) IIS 7.0 with Webdav module and QFE hotfix with request filtering disabled or not installed. Try and copy a file with a file name containing a + symbol from another computer with a mapped network drive to the webdav share 'http://www.mytestsite.com/test'.  Like this: 'This is a + test.txt'  What I am seeing is that the file will be created but the + symbol will disappear. When saved to the webdav share the file will appear as: 'This is a   test.txt' It seems webdav is not processing files with a + in the filename even though this is a totally valid file name in the win32 file system.  Can anyone else confirm this?  I'm at a loss as to how we can go about fixing this problem. Cheers, Keith

Please, refer to http://blogs.iis.net/thomad/archive/2007/12/17/iis7-rejecting-urls-containing.aspx Thanks.

  Re: Webdav - File names with + symbol not working correctly when copied to webdav mapped network drive Reply Contact  I have already tried setting allowDoubleEscaping="true" and while it allows a file to be served (GET) when you do a webdav PUT the file 'This is a + test.txt' becomes 'This is a  test.txt'  It seems like there is some kind of bug in the webdav module that does not properly URL encode/decode a file with a + symbol. 'This is a + test.txt' should become: 'This+is+a+%2B+test%2Etxt' However when the webdav module receives the PUT command it does not properly URL decode and instead becomes: 'This is a  test.txt' I view this as a pretty serious bug because files with +'s in them are totally valid in the win32 file system.  Due to the nature of the files and customers I'm working with it is not possible for me to rename these files. Anyone from the IIS team want to comment?
