Are you encoding before using the link. Please encode the URL using HtmlEncode Class and then try to access.

Solution 1

There's an asterisk (*) after "filename" - that might be one problem.
But also otherwise, the URL looks very bad. I see "coding.txt" twice, and "filename" twice...
Can't you send the query data with a POST request instead of a GET request - that makes things easier.
