Thanks for the post. To add to your great work, I have a slight
correction. %45 is a capital E, so that URL would return a 404 if the
intranet server is case sensitive. %65 would generate a lowercase e. You
might want to re-test with the proper case, as BM's filters may or may not
be case sensitive.
