periods in uri goes to underscore - El Forum - 02-05-2009

I'm trying to pass something such as mt.-John in my uri and the period always get translated to an underscore (_). I have periods allowed in my config. I removed the ? from my htaccess file as suggested by some other thread and still nothing.
Any ideas?

Try setting
Code:
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'REQUEST_URI';and check out this thread:

The answer given might not work in all cases and right now I don't have the time to find out exactly why, but on my linux box, the setting I had to use was:
$config['uri_protocol'] = "QUERY_STRING";
as the REQUEST_URI option resulted in invalid charaters error:
The URI you submitted has disallowed characters.
I suspect that is because I am not using mod_rewrite and therefore the '?' char is invalid in that configuration, eg:
$config['index_page'] = "index.php?";
a URI such as 'http://mydomain.com/foo/foo/username/lee.crampton' now works (ie the '.' is not being transformed into an underscore).
