Well it looks like it is properly escaping things. When I go to that
directory on your server, I find the files there, with the index showing:

%4dakefile.am-200603...
%4dakefile.am-200603...

And if I click on the link, it tries to take me to:

http://lalo.revisioncontrol.net/bzr/vos/.bzr/repository/knits/9b/%254dakefile.am-20060328145850-abc9b80cb43dfb63.kndx

However, your server seems to be double unescaping this to translate:

%254d => M (%25=>%, and %4d=> M)

At least the error message is:
The requested URL
/bzr/vos/.bzr/repository/knits/9b/Makefile.am-20060328145850-abc9b80cb43dfb63.kndx
was not found on this server.
                                ^^^^^^ See it translated it back to "M"

You seem to be running Apache 1.3.33, while I am running apache 2.0.54

But on my machine, if you go to http://john.arbash-meinel.com/pub/
You can see the file:
%4dakefile.txt

And if you click on the link, it takes you to:
http://john.arbash-meinel.com/pub/%254dakefile.txt

Notice that it did indeed escape the %4d => %254d, and that the file
properly resolves.

It seems to be a problem with your web-server not handling the %25
escaping properly.


I was able to find this bug report:
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38791

So it looks like a know bug that was fixed 2006-04-16.
