I have discovered that our server is not handling this correctly. Example

http // www example.com/articles/companyname.htm

http // www example.com/articles/companyname%20.htm

I killed the links on purpose the space issue only comes at the end of the url.

Both of these urls are showing and both show a 200 header. I need to create a rule so a space at the end of the URL or in the url will redirect to our custom 404 page as a 301

I asked our IT department to look into this and they are trying to do in from the code behind. We did a test and it went really bad the page showed a 404 but the url also showed the db log info in the url.

I have searched for several days without finding the correct answer and really don't have enough experience to write this line of code in the rule.

Thanks for any assistance in this manner.

Thanks very much Anton for your assistance in the matter. It seems to work for this example.com/folder/page.%20htm and sends the page to the 404 but allows this to go through
example.com/folder/page%20.htm I tried playing with the rule but it is really over my head.

If posssible I need both of these to go to the 404 page.

example.com/folder/page%20.htm
example.com/folder/page.%20htm

Thanks very much
