  Supporting Decimals in the URL Reply Contact  We have an existing web server that was running on an older version of IIS. Many of the directory names contained decimals. I'm working on switching everything over to a new server running IIS 7. I've found that any requests for a path containing decimals results in an Error 404.0. How do I get IIS to support these paths? Besides the fact that we have customers and applications referencing these paths, I don't want to spend the time renaming all those directories.

  Re: Supporting Decimals in the URL Reply Contact Hello, IIS7 supports decimals in folder names. Could you please provide an example of what is not working? Does it not work when trying to access the folder path in the URL, such as "http://localhost/test.folder/test.html"? Or does it only happen when trying to load files in the code, such as "<img src='images.folder/img.jpg'>"?

  Re: Supporting Decimals in the URL Reply Contact  It doesn't work when accessing the folder in a URL. If I rename "test.folder" to "testfolder" it works fine.  Detailed info on the error are below.
