hello everybody,

i've been writing a CGI for the past few months, and have run into a problem.. one of the services i'm developing, i've encountered a problem.. this service is simular to an AIM 'subprofile'... the problem is the browser (AIM's profile window), has a variable named '%n' which is replaced with the person's user name when they click the link.. unfortunatly, in AIM, screennames are allowed to have spaces, and %n does not convert the spaces to a '+' or a %20... therefor the web server panics and drops the query with an error... i was wondering if there was a way to intercept the url string and put the +'s where they belong.. or take the spaces out all together. BTW, i'm writing this in C.
