[OpenSTA-devel] https problem related to %7B (Vikram Bartakke)

Hi,

As far as I know, a lot of us are using MS-IE 6 in HTTPS mode withous any
problem.

You're right about the part of code that translates the URL.
But the code make case insensitive comparison.

I think your problem lies somewhere else.

Anyway, if we plan to release in few weeks a debug version of OpenSTA,
hoping it will
make easier for people like you to fix bugs or provide enhancements.
