I have IIS 8.0 and ASP.NET 4.5. I've created a web server with files some of which are formatted like so: "abc+.txt" or "abc+.doc"
When trying to pull these files from a URL, (e.g. http://mysite.com/abc+.txt), I get a 404 error. I realize the plus sign (+) is the issue and that the URL interprets the plus sign as a space. I have tried grabbing the file using: http://mysite.com/abc%2b.txt, http://mysite.com/blahblah .txt, but none of those combinations work. I have also tried renaming the files on the server to "abc .txt" or "abc%2b.txt" and none of those work either.
Are there any suggestions on how to access these files with a + in the URL?
